A submission (NOTE) is not a standard, or a recommendation (what the W3C produces). XML Protocol is an effort to recommend an XML Messaging convention that is based on SOAP. In other words, SOAP was designed by a few people to satisfy their needs. XMLP is an effort to take that work and make sure that it satisfies the requirements of the greater community (represented by W3C Members, as well as those who choose to participate on this list). Personally, I see XMLP as the continued development of SOAP; sort of SOAP 2.0. Others may feel differently...
