Maybe we could do this for webservices too, a whitelist for webservices
known to be using open protocols and systems and a blacklist for
webservices that use closed protocols and systems. These lists would
then make up a DotGNU webservice directory. We could also split the
lists into different sections. For example a Free Software section and
an Open Source section on the whitelist. Thus increasing user
consciousness for the differences between Free Software and Open Source.

Maybe a logo for webservices on the whitelist will also be a good idea.
