thats my question. While i imagine using of web services at
many other places (like accounting) in IETF, netconfiguration 
doesnt suit the bill. 

Some reasons:

1/ The UDDI as such is a logically centralized one. what is the 
motivation for operational folks to publish a service at a 
centralized directory?

2/ WS as such seems to be much of a hype by the market giants.
I dont know whether it is used in practice by ecommerce 
applications.
