Agreed.

I who implemented SOAP4R and Seki-san who implemented DRb
talked about co-working of SOAP and dRuby.  We thought below
possibilities.

- dRuby over SOAP
- SOAP over dRuby
- dRuby/SOAP bridge
- SOAP as a RPC part of dRuby

These do not make sense to us now...  SOAP is independent
from programing language.  dRuby is Ruby specific (so dRuby
applications are Write Once, Run Anywhere where Ruby runs).
They could kill characteristics each other.  Folks, how do
you think?

Sure.  We can do much much thing with dRuby.  SOAP is only
a simple, easy RPC (or messaging).
