If we have xslt2 I think we need to have xquery as well.

What specification are we working against for these?

soap-exchange - does something with WS/SOAP


Other than possibly setting up some HTTP headers, I'm not certain we need
to go here.  The httprequest component should suffice for most SOAP
web services.

Besides, we'd have to describe what exactly this component does.  Who's
going to read the SOAP HTTP adjunct spec in detail?  (not me!)
