A new web standard, the purpose of which is to improve communication between web applications has been agreed to by several industry bigwigs. The three most well known of the companies in question are: IBM, Microsoft and Sun. The new “standard” is called WS-Addressing, and it has been submitted to the W3C who will be forming a board to look into it.
I’d feel allot better about it if Microsoft wasn’t involved, not that I begrudge them the right to do so, but their apparent history of agreeing to new standards, and then breaking or extending them in a proprietary fashion to make their own products look better is long and well known. (Do a Google search if you don’t believe me.) Also this is not their first involvement with the W3C on issues related to this one.. Lets hope this time is more successful.
