Just curious: I thought the WSRF etc is not lightweight or can't be used on very-small-factor devices argument was answered by the wsdm blackberry demo. Or am I missing something? [Extracted from Fred's mail sometime back on the list.]
- Here is the URLs for the WSDM demo on the blackberry.

Dear Ian,
:
I won't pretend to know of Microsoft's intentions. However, a difference that I personally see between the WS-RF/WS-Notification and WS-Transfer/ /WS-Eventing/etc. camps is that the latter is much simpler and lightweight. Most importantly, the MS suite of specifications is not promoted as the uniform, underlying suite of common messaging behaviours for all high-level services as WS-RF seems to be. Instead it is some patterns that are available to be used where they are appropriate. Also, WS-Transfer is lightweight so it can be used in very-small-factor devices. :
