I think that you should see draft versions as HTML draft version. HTML was already useful on version 2. I would say that SOAP 1.2 is comparable to HTML 4, I mean what you add now to it is not vital to make good use of it for Web services. > > SOAP 1.2 was released less than 30 days ago iirc No, you are looking at restructure of the document. The original 1.2 release was in July: http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-soap12-20010709/ > And tons of people will use SOAP now Yes, SOAP 1.1 is already useful as it is. SOAP 1.2 just added a few non-vital stuff like large objects (attachment files) and I think also some support for logging and authentication. > But I think we have pitched the need for SOAP enough now :-) There have been plenty of PHP Classes that provide SOAP support. But some nice things have been added to some Microsoft and Borland languages like the built-in ability to call a Web service just by providing a WDSL URL and passing the necessary arguments. This is one thing that can be done in PHP as nicely with support built-in the language. That is the issue of this discussion.
