I just looked over the Tentative Hold Protocol submission[1] and had a quick comment on it. It would be interesting to see what could be done with an HTTP extension rather than with RPC-over-POST. Specifically, I'm thinking about the WebDAV LOCK method, which may be suitable to convey hold semantics. Alternately, a HOLD method could be created, perhaps returning some etag-like thing that identified the state of the resource at some point in time (since an etag doesn't consider time, just state). That would seem to me to fit Web architecture better than an RPC based solution. If you wanted to use SOAP with HOLD, you could define an extension to the SOAP/HTTP binding to do that.
