Hi, I agree the comments about SOAP problems. Nevertheless the most known problems are related to XML more than SOAP specifically, and that's what OGC standards use: XML, as a matter of fact that's the reason why some standards like WFS are quite improvable.
So, I think we won't face a new technical disaster, but a standardization challenge.
