Thank you, I would consider B2B and A2A communications with SOAP/WS-*. However, for the client side (with C2A), I would like to consider REST style to make light-weight without compromising security. I think it is very useful for certain industries such as banks, consumer market etc. As long as BizTalk can host such services with some kind of protocol translation, REST is just a complementary to SOAP. One day we may include REST as standard (as it is in WCF); after standards mature with usability.
I guess REST is nothing but Plain old xml (POX) communication, main difference from our traditional web services transport is there is no SOAP wrapper over your business message.
You can achive this in Biztalk using a HTTP 2 way receive-send adapter. In terms of security, you'll be able to take advantage of transport level security using HTTPS.
