XML over HTTP or SOAP?
XML over HTTP or SOAP?----- extract
SOAP is to XML what EJB is to Java. A heavy handed, over applied behemoth. SOAP is usurping the "web service" definition. SOAP is supposed to make systems interoperable, but in *every* deployment, or contemplated deployment I have seen, where interoperability was crucial, SOAP had the effect of reducing interoperability.

Indeed, SOAP, yet another overcomplicated monster generated by the "overcomplexifying maniacs" community operating in the discipline of Computer Sciences.
