In the scenario I was thinking of when I posed the original question, the SOAP messages were destined for a node (let's call it A) which sits behind a firewall and is unable to accept connections from outside the firewall. SOAP messages meant for A originating from outside the firewall are instead sent to an intermediate node (let's call it B) which stores them. Then A makes periodic HTTP requests to B for retrieve the stored SOAP messages, which if they exist are then returned in the HTTP response body. Any responses to the original SOAP message (like a RPC response) are then returned in a subsequent HTTP request. I don't think this breaks any SOAP specs (does it?), since RPC requests and responses are both just structs anyway. Our main motivation in wanting to bundle multiple SOAP messages was so we could get them from B to A in a single HTTP transaction...
