Think of it as an XML messaging framework, NOT rpc-using-xml-over-http. The BEEP binding of SOAP is just as valid as the HTTP one. Just to reiterate, I'm less concerned with getting PROVREG to consider SOAP as a solution, and more interested in getting a bit of cross-fertilisation, as both groups are tackling the same problems in many areas.
