Steve gave me the course correction I needed. Thank you thank you thank you. So, I'll try to get back to the Smackdown shortly. In the meantime, I wanted to overemphasize a point on the libraries. Steve mentioned this already but *please* *please* don't let the fact that these assemblies are folded into the Biztalk Services SDK deter you from using them. Neither the very cool services that you can interface with via the Biztalk Services SDK or the WCF web programming model require licenses for Biztalk.
Don Box had a really funny bit on how shipping software at Microsoft is like getting riders on bills in the US Legislature, and that they just wanted to set ol' Webby (as I've taken to calling the WCF Web programming model) free it to the world rather than sweat the particulars of the 'branding' of the vessel on which it was freed.
