I have a friend here in NC who is a free lance programmer. In a 
conversation with him about PIW
he discussed what his thoughts were about the future of the Web for 
serious organizations with resources to share and develop.
I have a list of 5 or 6 major items he considered important but one is 
that the Web will switch to/become SERVICES-oriented
as opposed to the current model of what one can do with a single user 
client during a one-on-one session. He also mentioned a
movement toward layering those services with appropriate security 
controls at each level. I will try to find this list and type it up here;
really cutting edge thinking.

What you're talking about Rich is really interesting stuff.
I just bought the O'Rielly "XML In A Nutshell" - on sale at a bookstore 
here at 60% off. It does have a chapter on XHTML.
