Well, what can I tell you; it does, it really does.  Don't forget that
two of the SOAP designers were Don Box, who has extensive experience in
DCE (and therefore DCOM) network data representation, and Andrew Layman,
who is one of the most pedantic datatype guys I've ever met.

Sure, and after five years of BOA your code might even be portable. :)
