Yep, SOAP is free. Free and controlled by Micro$oft. Hence my immediate
dislike ;). SOAP is cool, as a protocol, though. Web services are a good
thing.
As far as XML-RPC's data description? It's XML. So is SOAP's, as far as
I know. I just thought that -- in accordance with the pronunciation of
REBOL ("rebel yell") -- we do something with a protocol that isn't
controlled by M$.
Either way, one of the things I'm finding to be very cool/powerful about
REBOL is it's ability to easily pass data to, connect with and otherwise
interface with remote systems.
