hmmm......I read the W3C doc at --http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP/#_Toc478383490--
and looking at a soap encoded measage, it doesn't seem all that special.
all it is is a standard way of formating the information in an XML-RPC 
document so that it may be read by an application.  So we can either use 
soap or make our own up like GOAP (GNU Object Access Protocol). it 
wouldn't be that hard.
