Two excellent articles discussing about the failure of CORBA due to the inadequate standardization process of the OMG, and the fact that WS-* standardization process does not completely learn much from that failure: The Rise and Fall of CORBA and WS-NonexistentStandards. I am not an expert in CORBA or WS to say whether the authors are totally reasonable, but at least I think their points should be considered highly by any standardization party. And although I have no mercy for CORBA, I would be regret if WS will die the same death someday. WS is supposed to be simple, so be it.
