Well the problem is that people will want to grow with the specs and use part of the specs now ...
And in the end they will use the tool that they grew with and they will use the tool that is not vapourware when the spec is finalized Anyways SOAP is a good thing (tm) So is UDDI and WDSL (I do not see WDSL anywhere far in the near future though) And even if it turns out to suck, too many people have bet on it to be dropped anytime soon So it would really rock to have SOAP There will be people dropping PHP and there will be people not taking PHP seriously if it lacks SOAP The question is 1) does anyone care about these people 2) who will step up and do it I do care about 1) but I doubt I will do 2) myself Sounds like Manuel will not do 2) either and Zeev is in stuck at 1)? or is does not put 2) high in his priority list? So let's keep this discussion focused in the suggestion and not on the suggestor ... and you all know Manuels style by now ... either ignore him or focus on his suggestion .. and Manuel don't jump on anyone that complains about your style as it just leads to lengthy threads with few PHP relevant content ... and other .. don't jump on when Manuel jumps on someones complains about his style ... oki? Now hug!
