http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/xml/general/SOAP_V09.asp might lead you to believe that it is a work item of the HTTP working group, but it is not; the HTTP working group is scheduled to close as soon as is possible, and is accepting no new work. As far as I can remember, SOAP has never been discussed by the HTTP working group or any other IETF working group list (not even applcore, where it might otherwise belong), although I think I did hear it muttered in the hallways in DC. > -----Original Message----- > From: George W.
