Thanks for the invitation, Henryk.

I'm also certain that xmlschema-dev@w3.org would love to hear my
feelings about the (non)usefulness of W3C XML Schema, that
comp.text.sgml would love to hear more of my musings about the need to
move beyond SGML, and that Lucianne.com and the Free Republic would be
interested in my views on politics.

There is a certain limit beyond which masochism is difficult (and
probably uninteresting) to explain, so thanks, I'll decline the kind
invitation.

In the meantime, I'll continue to look for and promote alternatives to
SOAP and its progeny, while attempting to maintain a balanced
perspective on the projects where I do have to deal with SOAP.
