Don at the DevCon on "WS-Why?"

Here.

Don sent his new talk abstract my way this morning:

"WS-Why? This talk will make sense of why various WS-* specs came to life and which ones every developer should ignore. Naturally, the size of this set is non-zero, however, it is not the entire universe. Hopefully, the audience will be left with a mental model for what to ignore going forward as the WS-* machine continues to move forward."

Personally, I've always wondered about the history of the avalanche of WS-* specs and to hear it from an irreverent horse's mouth should be tons o' fun.
