Of course I know I there are a few PHP SOAP client implementations. I happed to have my own as well. The key of the suggestion was to have this built-in just like several other languages have and PHP does not have until someone opens their eyes and realize the importance of having this built-in. It is very good the analogy that Zeev made with built-in session support that ASP always had and PHP hadn't until somebody (Sascha?) bothered to make it happen as a built-in feature. I don't think it was added because there was some corporate interest in high performance session support.
