Actually, I think it may be viewed as a solution to interleaved streams, in which more than one stream makes progress at a time, perhaps in a manner that's correlated at the application level (e.g. television frames with metadata about each interleaved.) I've always been a bit nervous that SOAP isn't well engineered to facilitate this. I think it basically didn't make the 80/20 cut. I'm very much on the fence whether it's a good requrirement to adopt now, as I suspect that doing it only at the attachment level begs a lot of questions about the higher level abstraction supported (which is really your point, I think.)
