I'm back from vacation and a lot of things have happened during my absence, for instance, SP1 for WSE 2.0 is now available.

One of the bigger things that happened is that the WS-Addressing specification was formally submitted to the W3C.  Authors on this spec come from Microsoft, IBM, Sun, BEA and SAP so you know there is wide acceptance on this from all the major players.  I imagine that it shouldn't take a long time for this to get ratified - particularly since this is such a fundamental specification for all the other specs that are out there.
