While the big companies fight over the rules of old and new consortia, and redefine SOAP every few months, the promise of XML-RPC is being delivered, in the wild free spaces of the Internet development environment, the platform with no platform vendor. No Senior VP's to be quoted, just independent developers working their butts off, creating new software; and users who are empowered and excited by the new applications they're delivering. Every day on Scripting News we report on this stuff. You probably won't find it in Infoworld, on News.Com or in the NY Times; no Forrester analyst will talk about it, because they haven't figured out yet that we can do it without any help from the BigCo's and we must, because they can't.
