I hope the late answer is not too confusing....


This reminds me that interested parties should stick their heads together
thinking about defining a WS API.

I once had a SOAP TM server running and one of the experiences was ___NOT!!!__
to use a generic API, but to optimize this for mass retrieval (as you usually
need to power portals). [ If you have the Perl implementation, compare the
modules XTM and XTM::Memory ]

SOAP is _far too expensive_ for a normal API exposure.
