Subject: Heads up: A key difference between SOAP and XML-RPC

After a little head-bashing and then smoke-clearing, this became apparent.

 

1. In SOAP, procedures take named parameters and order is irrelevant.

 

2. In XML-RPC order is relevant and parameters are not named. 

 

To what extent does this account for the interoperability problems that have been discussed on the mailing lists?  What's the effect on the Busy Developer's Guide?
