Tim,

This is a comment on the first matter.

I understand your requirement is
  "one SOAP message for multiple ultimate SOAP receivers."

It seems to me that current SOAP spec does not suppose this case.

| SOAP provides a distributed processing model that assumes a SOAP
| message originates at an initial SOAP sender and is sent to an
| ultimate SOAP receiver via zero or more SOAP intermediaries. 
(From section "2. SOAP Processing Model" of SOAP V1.2 W3C Recommendation)
