The article’s comment re: short
learning curve should be clarified in my opinion.
The learning curve for a SOAP *implementor*
is certainly not short, but the complexities of SOAP should be completely hidden
from a regular developer by whatever web services platform they are using. If
the review is being written for an audience of general developers, then I would
argue that many web services platforms already make the learning curve for SOAP
very small.
Cheers,

Paul, it can be done by base64-encoding, but more commonly by encoding left angle brackets and ampersands. We use the same technique with SOAP. Dave ... From:...
