Forgot one: 10) Support invoking simple rpc encoded remote services. Not proper rpc-enc support but tuscany working for things like xmethods stockquote which i'm sure lots of new users will try. Currently SDO barfs on the WSDL but if it could tolerate it those simple services often work even if the soap message doesn't have the xsi type stuff.
