I think I agree with this statement. This is the entire reason for pushing towards the new Protocol work -- which, while designed with reading/writing features in mind, could be applied to any aspects of a protocol. If servers speak a specialized language, I think that Protocols are the place to teach OpenLayers to speak that language. That said, I do not see the point of wrapping up a perfectly good API like WMS inside of SOAP, or any other RPC. Doing that is silly.
