Hello all,

I guess some of us have seen Eric Rudder's Indigo Day keynote Live at VSLive
in SF. http://www.ftponline.com/reports/vslivesf/2005/rudder/

David Chappell's article on Intro to Indigo here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/longhorn/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnlong/html/
introindigov1-0.asp
is also a good intro to what to expect from Indigo.

However, I am looking and reading between the lines into both resources
above, esp on David's article where he stated and I quote:

"Web services Enhancements (WSE): WSE is Microsoft's tactical solution for
implementing Web services applications that require some or all of the
functions provided by the WS-* specs. Applications built using WSE 1.0 and
WSE 2.0 won't interoperate with applications built on Indigo. Applications
built on WSE 3.0, which will be shipped before Indigo is released, will
interoperate with Indigo applications, however. For portability, the story
is similar to the technologies already described: some amount of effort will
be required to move existing code from WSE to Indigo, although this effort
will be minimized for applications that use the final WSE version."

Is it safe to make a wise assumption from this inference that the
programming model for WSE 3.0 may be a bit different from what we have seen
in WSE 1.0, 2.0 SP1 and SP2. I dunno, can we expect <gasp> a more friendly
and streamlined attribute declaration based programming model in WSE 3.0 ?

The <compatibility mode> element in the config file of WSE 2.0 SP2 did set
some of my thoughts in motion as well.

Any thoughts and comments ?
