RE: Tunneling HTTP over SOAP

By approximately stuffing it in XML, we can have *roughly* one programming model and one wire model.   Given how much people want as simple a model as possible for Web services - though we don't do as well as we'd like some of the time - I like the simplicity in this case.  The WSDL model for describing XML + SOAP + DIME/MIME/soapwithattachments rather ... sucked.  And hey, there's more.. we're doing it architecturally right(imo) this time by making sure that xmlp and wsdl are working on the same problem at the same time.

Cheers,
Dave
