& XSLT IMO, REST vs SOA (not SOAP, as others have pointed out) boils down to
this question; assuming the data is identical in each case, what's
easiest to integrate?  Ten services with ten interfaces, or ten services
with one interface?

O(N) beats O(NlogN) every day of the week, industry concensus
notwithstanding.  All other points of evaluation - some of which
I'll admit are in Web services' favour - are insignificant in
comparison.

Cheers,

Mark.
