RE: protocols to bind to

[Alex Ceponkus <aceponkus@bowstreet.com>]

I agree with SOAP, ebXML and XMLP.  I also share your hesitation with http
and smtp.  The first three XML transports can or will be able to bind to
HTTP, SMTP, BEEP, etc, so there might be a lot of reinventing that will
occur to bind to those lower layers.

The WSDL 1.1 spec provides the following bindings: SOAP 1.1, HTTP GET, HTTP
POST, and MIME.  I believe MIME falls into the same category as http and
smtp, where the higher layer xml transports will provide bindings to it (as
is the case for SOAP + Attachments.)

SOAP, ebXML, XP, http(?), smtp(?)

We might also need to look at wsdl extensions?
