			<outline text="Reading it more carefully I see they're looking for a way to abstract the differences between SOAP and XML-RPC. We've already done that with the Frontier verb called &lt;a href=&quot;http://docserver.userland.com/xml/rpc&quot;&gt;xml.rpc&lt;/a&gt;. It's a little more complicated than the lower-level routines it covers, but you get a choice of protocol at runtime. In our environment, the high level code doesn't know whether it's calling a SOAP or XML-RPC routine. " created="Tue, 04 Dec 2001 03:07:29 GMT"/>

			<outline text="Why would you pay Microsoft all that money, when you could buy a year's subscription to &quot;Frontier&quot;, and get XML-RPC support along with SOAP, for a mere $899 per year, and when the subscription expires, you can keep using it.
