Think of it as data-driven rather then method driven.  There may be one
method, and perhaps a URI or some addressing meta-data, but it's not an
object method, it's not a class invocation, and most of the "what to do"
comes from the single datatype -- a bit of XML -- that is sent back and
forth.

Yup, those are good.  Especially #3 which I view as key (but then I'm a
bits-on-the-wire kind of guy)
