It's not only what is technologically better or feasible, it's also what is politically feasible. The medical world isn't particularly known for it's speed when it comes to technological novelties. Stuff like SOAP and XML is relatively new; HL7 is ancient, but just now (in the Netherlands) do you see that applications start to become more HL7 compliant. And then, HL7 3 is fully XML, so would be able to use much of the same infrastructure as other XML protocols like SOAP. In that sense, I foresee that organisations will be using central XML messaging servers not unlike HL7 servers as their central hub some years from now, where XML messages can be routed and adapted, doing HL7 3, SOAP, documents, etc.
