Which directly points at one of the shortcomings of a lot of current 
SOAP thinking: it's mired in the "Web services" area when the nice 
little standard bricks it provides could be usefully reused accross the 
spectrum of XML technologies -- having a standard envelope in which to 
easily stuff more than the body is a good step towards packaging, and 
generally applicable.
