For full disclosure, it should probably be noted that this particular
subset of SOAP for the most part only includes features that match
with Userland's product Frontier, and that Userland fully and solely
controls the specification of this subset.

Reworded, this is not merely a "simple" subset of SOAP, but one that
particularly favors one vendor's product.
