The difference in difficulty between filtering FNP and filtering FNP
encapsulated in XML is trivial. We're going to need to to much trickier
things that using XML when they start filtering for FNP.

You can block only Freenet SOAP messages. Unless we stego them to look
like other SOAP messages in which case that's a different issue and we're
not using SOAP as SOAP anymore, but as a stego layer, so we might as well
use HTTP, FTP, e-mail, etc..
