In theory I agree, however a number of things still rely on a WINS
server being around. If you're in an all XP environment and have no 3rd
party software that wants WINS you're ok, but otherwise it's been my
experience that you still need WINS. 

BTW, the QNTC subsystem wants a WINS server. And in my case Symantec's
AntiVirus wants a WINS server to discover the network.
