That's a reasonable summation Eric, but I hope you understand my
position; that it is impossible to be consistent with the existing
Web architecture by tunnelling over HTTP.

Also, I don't hate SOAP, I just hate how most people use it.  The work
I did in XMLP to ensure that SOAP could be used in a Web architecture
friendly manner, won't matter one iota if *we* don't use it this way,
and provide guidance to others on how to use it this way.
