This was discussed at some length in
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-dist-app/2000Dec/0152.html
with the somewhat lukewarm "conclusion" that the "+" notion is not suited for
SOAP:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-dist-app/2000Dec/0198.html
Unfortunately I never think we never got an explanation to why the "+" syntax
would be useful as compared to other solutions.
For now I suggest you go with text/xml which is what SOAP/1.1 says and use the
SOAPAction header for finer granulation filtering. Whether "text/" is a
suitable choice is a discussion not particularly targeted SOAP as such.

Subject: RE: text/xml for SOAP (and XP) considered harmful
Currently SOAP uses 'text/xml'. Some people say it should be
application/xml. Extra info like 'text/soap+xml' has been proposed.
What is the final thoughts?
Has anyone thought about using 'message/soap+xml' rather than
'text' or 'application'?
