This is all really important and almost on the table for the VRS.
We need to know what the interface to a webservice will be, and assume that 
it'll be standard (ie will the same webservice worked when dropped into M$ 
.net or will you have to build your webservice with an interface that matches 
the intended deployment architecture).  This troubles me greatly.
