We had this discussion before. I'm still not convinced and think that now "everybody" wants to build
everything in or around repositories.

Thomas didn't say if the data from the webservice belongs a) to the domain and needs b) on the
client side any logic at all. I just argued to start small and not use the biggest "gun" (domain
model and repository) on a small target. But I trust that Thomas knows what his application demands
and can now make his judgement.
