What's wrong with SOAP? I like it because:
- Supports more than just sender-receiver; e.g., intermediates.
- SOAP with Attachments
- Ability to send XML
- Richer data types
- href/id handles pointer aliasing
- href allows (transparent!) refs to network data
- extensible architecture (header elements)
- reasonable size to implement (04)
I don't like XML-RPC because it doesn't have the above. :) (05)

Not from where I sit. (07)

Why? What do you not like about it?
