Good to know, thanks.

Is it significant though that the SOAP schemas in the W3C submission
(which I think is what SAML is pointing to as the reference point)
aren't compliant with the 2001 version? Are there "official" SOAP 1.1
schemas that are up to date, or is the whole idea non-applicable since
SOAP 1.1 isn't a standard in that sense?

I confess I didn't look especially hard for a newer SOAP 1.1 schema
set...
