Whilst I agree that the Web Services Protocol Stack page is 'too technical' (I don't have the confidence to fix it!) I do have a few thoughts or suggestions for anyone who might attempt it.
I arrived at this page following link from SOAP, which I referred to from the UPnP page. The picture I have is of a suite of protocols providing or supporting web services, many of which are listed on the UPnP page. This is a broader perspective than seeing HTTP in relation to the TCP/IP protocol stack.
There is an excellent page on the Internet Protocol Suite, which combines a discussion of mapping OSI and TCP/IP layers with relevant protocols, but this like so many similar references cannot do justice to the full range of web service protocols.
So, I present the following ideas:- (1) the Web Services Protocol Stack page be re-named Web Services Protocol Suite (2) this Suite be presented as a sub-set of the Internet Protocol Suite (3) the relationships (and dependencies) between the various web service protocols be illustrated diagrammatically in preference to description alone (4) the relevance of each protocol be described using practical applications. This would avoid descriptions which are 'standards' oriented.

I wouldn't agree the page is too "technical..." but would say some material needs elaboration. It is inherently a technical subject. Anyone who visits this page is going to have at least a basic understanding of some related material anyway (and there are links to follow for stuff they don't know). For anyone else who visits, the first sentence is about as "layman" as a description as possible (without the term losing its meaning).
I agree with your suggestions (3) and (4) (no bias/opinion on 1 and 2). I'll leave it up to someone
I don't understand what distinguishes this page from Web_service and List_of_Web_service_specifications. I think it should be deleted. mnot 23:41, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
