JSON with a schema is still simpler than CORBA and DCOM, isn't it?

The former is simply an RPC mechanism whereas e.g. DCOM builds on top of MSRPC to provide distributed objects, which involves remotely creating instances of objects, which requires distributed reference counting, which adds all sorts of complicated timeouts and keep-alives to deal with network problems.

JSON with a schema seems broadly equivalent to SOAP.

I can believe that early implementations were buggy, but working with WS-* these days is actually very nice - nicer than JSON webservices, IMO.
