`The question is,' said UserAgent, `which is to be master -- that's all.' "

That is why web services are "discoverable".    If you can find its 
schema, you can know if it is likely to fall *before* you do business 
with it.  You can't tell it to uncross its legs; you can move and 
avoid the yolk.
