The XML Protocol Working Group closes issue #40 [1] with the following text which is to be inserted into the SOAP 1.2 specification: "The ability to use SOAP in a particular environment will vary by the actual constraints, choice of tools, processing model, and nature of the messages being exchanged. The XML encoding of SOAP has dependencies on a minimum number of other specifications (XML Base, XML Schema Datatypes, XML 1.0, and XML Namespaces), none of which has prohibitive processing requirements. SOAP 1.2 also excludes some of XML 1.0's features, which could help lower processing requirements -- see the "Relation to XML section of Part 1, the Messaging Framework. Also, limiting use of SOAP to small messages instead of arbitrarily-sized messages and using a few specific message types instead of implementing generalized SOAP encoding could significantly lower processing requirements."
