The SOAP i-d proposes a nice extension of the stuff we already do,
and going that step further, interpreting the data exchange as RPC is
quite elegant.
What's the difference?
Instead of sending arguments to distinct URLs that encode the methods,
one states them explicitly in the HTTP message body.
Plus you add an object, thus it makes adding different but related
services (think: mp3, DVD) easier.
Can't see much room for evil here.
