The interesting thing about this point is that *if* this is the case
then they are able to use the current SOAP composability model which I
would take as a sign that at least it is possible to do it without
support in the core protocol.

There are several ways in which I can imagine this being done btw and if
it is possible to layer then I strongly suggest that it should be.
