David Orchard will be appalled, but I've decided to play a bit fast and loose with the extensibility and versioning of WITW. What this means in practical terms is, I may change the APIs in backwards-incompatible ways as the service evolves. When (if?) the system reaches a point of relative stability then I'll put a stake in the ground and try to move forward in a compatible way. In the meantime, I'm trying to balance my personal goal of learning more about web services with the apparent popularity of the service (at least among a small number of people). Managing the schemas in a rigorously backwards and forwards compatible way is just a little too distracting right now. That said, I'll try to minimize the damage. As of today, I've updated the following schemas: is-request.rnc, is-reply.rnc, and ami-reply.rnc. These are used by the RESTful services.
