OK, I got carried away with the "average office worker" and
HTML ... but I do think that lots of non-nerds learn enough
HTML to tweak their homepages or weblogs, and simply ignore
(and don't touch) the stuff they don't understand.
I see my 9 year old doing it to tweak postings on a kids
website (neopets.com), FWIW, without any prompting or
explanation from me.
Likewise with URIs; I can more easily imagine an "average"
person accessing a Web service by tweaking a big ugly URL
and putting the result in a frame or a table or formatted with
CSS than I can imagine them buying VS.NET, installing some
libraries to make a SOAP call from Javascript, sorting
out when they must use XML-RPC and when they must use SOAP, etc.
Anyway, I offer this as only "the only scenario under which RPC
could decisively lose", not a prediction that it will happen.
