Can you comment on the applicability and interoperability of this approach 
to language environments other than Java?  Eg Perl, Ruby, C#, C, PHP, etc.

Do you have examples of successful use of composed WS-* features such as 
those you list in a deployed system?  Have they been used in 
multi-platform, multi-language scenarios?
