New Web App Spec Submitted to W3C

A new specification dubbed WS-Addressing that facilitates communication between Web applications has been submitted to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) for standards review and eventual publication. Aiming to improve interoperability between Web services, WS-Addressing was developed by a group that includes Microsoft, Sun, IBM, BEA and SAP. Sun was originally hesitant in backing the proposal, but opted to do what it says is best for the industry.
