That is most certainly true of the above quote.  But
the article as a whole fleshes most of that out.  And
the article, as a whole, points in a direction that
many think of when discussing 'WebServeces'.  At
least, it's a benchmark to talk from.  How does DotGNU
Web Services include and/or extend past this benkmark?

We need a clear scope of what 'we' mean when talking
with others outside the project.  From most of my
reading, most people think of something like the
article talks about.  We will only confuse if our
semantics are out of synch.
