OK, I see your point and have no problem with it. I personally think that main point of a web service choreography is to *describe* it, and the execution is an "implementation detail" for the purposes of this WG. Nevertheless, I agree that the execution could be done RESTfully and [putting on my Software AG hat] it is a very good idea to build choreographed services using a scalable/reliable XML repository with an HTTP interface :-)
