Why is support SOAP-GET hard to support in WS? That's just another
way to bind an Input-Output style operation (aka MEP) in WSDL.
Abstractly, there's nothing different between that and another way
of doing an Input/Output operation .. the fact that its an HTTP
GET outgoing instead of a SOAP call never really shows up at the 
programmer level.
