He also expresses his opinion regarding the debate REST vs. WS-* and the future directions web technologies will be taking. Bray also addresses the way web technologies are affected by the current economic turmoil and gives his insight into which paradigms he sees going forward in these challenging times."

    You really did prove Bray's point--that content often trumps form.

    I once thought Tim was so right on, but seems somewhat lost here. No one I'm aware of is asking for "flash" like web apps, in fact I think folks realized about 4-5 years ago that such flash/multimedia container applications were outdated. Tim has many solid points, but seems a bit out of phase with modern web development.
