It could have been worse.  His editor was telling him to write that XML 
was inherently less secure because it was textual and therefore more 
readable.  Yow.  With respect to Web Services, I think the key point is 
indeed that all this WS-mumble stuff is becoming frighteningly complex 
and I'd bet a zillion bucks that there are awful vulnerabilities 
lurking in the cracks where nobody could possibly have thought to look.
