The VRS project https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/vrs/ proposes to use SOAP1.2
Though this is still work in progress, but the idea is that the VRS will 
accept multiple 'Request Acceptance' modules that can handle SOAP over 
HTTP/SMTP/FTP, XMLRPC for example.

Requests for webservices which require data in in order to produce data out 
need, obviously, to have a standard interface to and from which SOAP and 
XMLRPC requests can be mapped.  This is tricky and has not been considered 
other than the interface requirements stated above.

If the VRS sticks to one method, (like SOAP) then it becomes so much easier - 
inter-operablility is what I'm concerned with, and am currently wearing my 
SOAP hat.
