Since you have been at the NMRG meeting, you should have read

http://joe.lindsay.net/webservices/rutgers-p2p-p2pws02-soap.pdf

which gives some insights. In general, I think that using HTTP as the
underlying transport seems awkward from an architectural point of view
and causes some additional problems that would not exist if people
would be using a real transport protocol (or a secure version of it)
as a transport.
