Some great pushback from Simon and James on my earlier post about using UDDI for rollover.

It seems to me that the tried and true methods they advocate are great. But, UDDI allows me to find services in a transport agnostic manner (not that UDDI is transport agnostic, but that I can search for other services to take care of my uses that use other transports.)

For instance: my user inputs customer data for my CRM app, and I use a service to send the data. If the server is down, or unavailable, wouldn't using UDDI to find the nearest store-and-forward or caching service be a good idea? This is just off the top of my head. Transport agnostic roll-over seems like a huge win, IMO.

More pushback is welcome.
