Supporting the converged Apache SOAP stack would be required.  My concern
was to address any concerns that the support would need to be limited to
that one stack and that one stack only.

To illustrate with an extreme example, if somebody wanted to have a WSDL
based tool which supported both Apache's and Microsoft's SOAP
implementations, I see no reason that support for both stacks couldn't be
coexist in the same Apache cvs repository.

A concrete example where this is done today in another Apache subproject.
One would think that Jakarta was all about Java, right?  And the
Microsoft's .Net in general, and C# in specific were the antithesis of
this?  Well, take a look at
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-ant/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/optional/dotnet/

P.S.  I know of nobody working on such a tool at the present time.
