I suppose the operative bit here is "number of". I think we've got the other bit covered, in principle. I was expecting you guys to play the SCTP raga (beeponsteroids), with a semi-respectable run into the numbers-space. Bubbles comes as a surprise. Its so ... lightweight. I so lack clue. Nice to see you. Eric P.S. I think I actually don't know all of SOAP's shortcommings. I haven't paid attention. Not my invited expertship brief at W3C. ENOCLUE.
