So this is what I propose... setup soap@lists.php.net for further conversation.

Yep.

As a starting point.... PEAR::SOAP is a script wrapper around a C level extension. It's available in absence of the C extension, and for additional features that don't make sence to implement in C, or for fast extendability. Brad's C extension is far more advanced than what is in xmlrpc-epi so I would go for using it. Move Brad's extension into PECL or the main PHP distribution (???)

I think it'd be nice to have an ext/soap in the main distribution. It also sounds to me that Brad's work is more advanced but I guess that'll be up to soap@ to decide :)

Get everyone involved/interested to go through the features of PEAR::SOAP and ext/soap, and lets come up with a common API for both to use. Getting them using the same API will allow for the wrapping of the C classes and other things like test harness and the interop scripts in PEAR::SOAP to work with ext/soap.

I agree. Andi
