I disagree with this on two points. First, SOAP is doing a harder
problem, so saying it's just like "use XML" is a gross simplification,
like comparing "use ASCII" to "use HTTP." Second, from my corner of the
world interop is pretty darn good.

They started before SOAP was available. I understand they plan to migrate
to SOAP. They like the web-services soap/wsdl/schema stuff.
