>Darcy had mentioned that the soloist was singing at the same time as the rest of the soprano section - that was what made it awkward to label. I suppose it might be even more awkward if the sopranos and the soloist might or might not sing at the same time. All the more reason to have a separate staff, in that case.

As a choir director, may I say that logic dictates. if the soloist and section are singing at the same time, then nothing special need be labeled: "solo" and "sopranos" is plenty sufficient. (Actually "solo", and nothing else would probably do it, if there are four voice parts left.) A soloist cannot sing two parts at the same time, and will always find and choose the solo line first - that's why she is a soloist.
