Re: XProc enables REST and SOAP web service orchestration!

Actually I'd say that SOAP support across other protocols could be set up
depending upon system capabilities. If your system supports an SMTP client,
I can see something like

<p:declare-step name="email">
     <p:input port="envelope-headers"/>
     <p:input port="payload"/>
     <!-- pipeline for processing -->
</p:declare-step>

<p:declare-step name="soap-envelope">
     <p:parameter name="to"/>
     <p:parameter name="from"/>
     <p:parameter name="cc"/>
     <p:parameter name="bcc"/>
     <p:xquery>
          <p:input port="query">
                 <p:document href="create-source-envelope.xq"/>
          </p:input>
     </p:xquery>
     <p:output port="envelope-headers"/>
</p:declare-step>
