Not to rain on your parade or anything, but Sun will be releasing a UDDI registry fairly soon that uses Xindice as its datastore, and the functionality you're describing is already included, to my knowledge, though perhaps you could describe in more detail what particular benefit a SOAP interface might be in the generic sense (ie., when not already part of an application that is SOAP-aware or SOAP-intensive).
