I totally agree with Pelle<p>I will stick with the standards, I dont want to build custom interfaces for each service provider, the original purpose would be defeated by it.<p>I remember XML-RPC being so simple and elegant. Vendors and committees have screwed SOAP, made it so complex no one person can either explain it all or code it all.<p>I am building a oauth provider and a set of consumer apps.<p>I could refer to the standards, sample implementations in various languages and then write my own implementation in a couple of days.
