A coder w/ a lot of clout in my office wants to go down a path I feel is instinctively wrong. We need a business rules framework for a set of web services we have for accepting certain types of xml infosets in a WCF based POX service.

Weird question, but one that puzzles me a bit. In the old days when we had Terminals and DOS, applications generally only had one "window", and that was a fullscreen one. When people switched functions, there was no concept of opening a new window, but instead the content of the main window was overwritten. So there was only one main win...
