Is RPC/Encoded form of SOAP is vanishing out and Doc/Literal form of SOAP is going to be more popular in the future?
 
Have a look at the following facts:
 
*	 Some of toolkit (like .NET) use Doc/Literal by default 

*	SOAP 1.2 specification (recently announced as standard by W3C) makes support for SOAP encoding optional (that is, a toolkit can claim SOAP 1.2 compliance without supporting     SOAP encoding) 

*	 W3C Web Service Description Working Group chose to drop support for encoding from their latest working draft of the WSDL 1.2 specification.
 
thanks,
