In response to the renewed interest in SSDL prompted by the IEEE article, Jim Webber recently posted about how SSDL compares to the existing W3C/OASIS stack. I blogged about the article in my previous post, I like SSDL.

The post is worth checking out if you are interested in SSDL; however, I’m disappointed by the last comment:

Of course the practicalities of the situation with huge existing investments in the W3C/OASIS stack means that SSDL will most likely remain nothing more than a toolkit for academics and geeks.

Pragmatic and perhaps true, but I hope that doesn’t turn out to be the case.

I’m still hoping to see this in a future version of WCF — I’m counting on Savas to make this happen 😉
