Maybe Knot

From http://astoria.mslivelabs.com/...

The goal of Microsoft Codename Astoria is to enable applications to expose data as a data service that can be consumed by web clients within a corporate network and across the internet. The data service is reachable over HTTP, and URIs are used to identify the various pieces of information available through the service.
But, em, er, to find out more about Microsoft's "data service... reachable over HTTP" you are expected to download several Microsoft Word documents.

Bzzzt. Next?
