XML-over-http is the way

Another gem from Ed is this thread

XML over HTTP or SOAP?

SOAP is to XML what EJB is to Java. A heavy handed, over applied behemoth. SOAP is usurping the “web service” definition. SOAP is supposed to make systems interoperable, but in *every* deployment, or contemplated deployment I have seen, where interoperability was crucial, SOAP had the effect of reducing interoperability.

For me that’s like calling the Emperor’s New Clothes - Great perspective.  That’s got me thinking.

Update: Nic agrees and comments
