Simple Object Access Protocol
----
See http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP/ which covers the SOAP standard.
A new version of SOAP, 1.2, was announced during 2003.
The new version is quite a bit more complex, allowing various protocols,
supporting attachments, email bindings, etc.

XMLSpy [http://www.xmlspy.com/]
"has a very cool function in it to test/debug SOAP", according to
[David Bigelow].

Additional Note - the Cool Function in XMLSpy is AWESOME - but not worth the US$1,000.00 price tag.  Surely there is something that can be done to do the same thing in Native Tcl... - Dave...

[LV] I would guess that while something could be written in native Tcl
to help test and debug soap, it is doubtful that it already exists
and is available for free.  If it exists, it probably is either
internal to someone's company, or is on the slate for someone to 
develop and sell. However don't let that discourage you from writing
such a thing!
