The only reason I can think of to use @POE_safe might be if you want
to support older versions of Perl. Otherwise the attributes sound
fine.
You could do this a third way: PoCo::SOAP can emit events which are
handled by other sessions. The other sessions can decide whether to
block or not. I think PoCo::Server::HTTP does this.
