What do Agents Buy You? Consider Conversations.

• An ACL could buy a level of change stratification in ABSE.
• But what could agents say to each other that could buy you more functionality - that you could not get with SOAP?
• Probably nothing, especially given Turing completeness:
  SOAP is not inherently client-server though very consistent with HTTP.
  SOAP headers also have as their universe of discourse application actions -
  enabling conversations about task performance
• So, the best argument for "agents" is probably one of system development, and probably mostly prototyping.
• Wait - what about interoperability without prior agreements?
