Personally, I'd be interested to see more discussions/texts not only on how things could be done without SOAP, but also on how and when web services can be done RESTfully (at least mostly) while still using a SOAP (document body + headers) envelope as a means to pass messages, irrespectively of whether it travels within HTTP or over TCP/IP, etc. I don't think (sorry if I'm wrong) that REST supporters strictly object to a SOAP envelope being used per se; SOAP has its advantages and some applications might be difficult to build according to REST guidelines. The question is how well this envelope is integrated into the surrounding environment, what can be done to make it friendlier toward it. Thanks Sergey Beryozkin
