Rant

I was reading Adam Bosworth's ICSOC04 talk when the sudden urge to get up to speed on the whole WS-* thing hit me (I know, the speech should have made me go and download Python or some such thing, but that's just me).

I started off with this page. Notice how it says "This document is also available in these non-normative formats: PostScript version and PDF version."

What's with these folks? Non-normative? Would it have hurt too much to have simply said "This document is also available in PostScript and PDF versions?"

Anyway, that took care of my morbid, albeit temporary, fixation with web services.
