Not to quibble but I don't consider SOAP to be a transport protocol but a
messaging protocol. OTOH I could see SOAP, as a message envelope format, to
be used within one of the mentioned transport protocols.

How about...

"Any solution should support multiple transport and messaging protocols, including but not limited to: HTTP, SOAP, XMPP, and SIP. "

I think Suresh's point was that SOAP is not a transport or messaging protocol, but a message format that can be carried over such protocols. E.g., there are (AFAIK) four transport/messaging bindings for SOAP: HTTP, SMTP, BEEP, and XMPP.
