That is likely to be the foundation for Eric's claim that SOAP over IIOP is faster -- if you're using SOAP over HTTP to do CORBA with angle brackets, your performance is going to suck. If you want to use XML as XML -- i.e. process it with XML tools instead of (de-) serializing it to and from objects -- I doubt that doing XML over TCP is going to buy you much. In other words: CORBA/IIOP may be a lot faster than SOAP/HTTP, but they achieve different goals. XML over IIOP (e.g. by putting the XML into a CORBA string) makes no sense whatsoever IMO.
