Further Advances in Basic Profile

Two new drafts came out of the Basic Profile working group last week. For those not familiar with Basic Profile, it's a subset of some of the core web service specifications along with guidelines for using those specifications in an interoperable fashion. There are two drafts being worked on because Basic Profile 1.X represents the older track of SOAP 1.1 web services and Basic Profile 2.X represents the newer track of SOAP 1.2 web services. The two drafts that came out are for Basic Profile 1.2 and Basic Profile 2.0. All of the materials are available on the WS-I website.

Since these are drafts, comment periods are open for both of these profiles.
