Abstract
The ability of web services to become a pervasive reality in the marketplace will be dependent in large measure upon the quality of the standards that are created to enable them. The best standards bodies to create those standards will ultimately be decided by the marketplace itself, which can choose among a variety of entities with a range of processes and technical focus. But some degree of inefficiency and confusion may be the inevitable cost for the existence of choice.
