HFN: "while the applications may differ, the fundamental
architectural principles don't have to".
That might need a little exposition. The claim
among many is that use of the RPC style calls in
some SOAP systems directly contravenes the REST
principles claimed as the central architectural
and bounding principles of "the Web". I don't have
trouble accepting that there will be Internet systems
that operate differently from these principles and
therefore, in strict terms, are "off the Web" and
further, that "on" and "off" the web doesn't mean
impermeable boundaries for information.
So it seems to me that clarity in the defining and
bounding architectures is vital.

Exactly - use HTTP for what HTTP is good at and SOAP for what it is good
at. Note that while the applications may differ, the fundamental
architectural principles don't have to.
