Hey I didn't really say it was M$'s fault either ;) You're spot on about leveraging other libraries, using cfobject etc. But in a way, that's just what Java and .net solutions are doing too. If you want all the extra WS features you're not going to achieve it easily in any language (guess)... Except maybe CF9 or CF10. Hopefully.
Yeah I think the point of bridging technologies with soap is to use the standard and not deviate from it. If you don't need standards then any old xml/http will do the job. To add 'enhancements' and make intergration more difficult or complicated is almost like M$ wanted to make it tough.
