Good presentation but lacks the practical touch

You're right, these are important topics and they cannot be wedged into a single talk. On the upside, they are all in my forthcoming book on Web integration. In the meantime, here's a minimal set of answers to your points:
1. Transactions - Don't use them, or at least not to cross service boundaries. Use other patterns to get consistent state updates (after all the whole REST thing is about state so it's a good tool for that job);
2. Reliability - Safety and idempotence deal with this on the Web. Retries are valid, and the metadata you get from interacting with a service helps with recovery scenarios. Don't underestimate the utility of safe GETs.
HTH.

WebDAV

I don't see WebDAV talked about much but it is a nice resource-oriented HTTP-based XML-driven protocol that has been out there for quite a while. Definitely not ready to be an integration services protocol but a good proof that the concept presented by Jim is perfectly viable.
Nice talk, thanks a lot
