So the suggestion: I think we'd be in a better place if we:
- Fix the publisher to at least recognize a SOAP request vs. an xml-rpc request
- Provide some kind of 'registration hook' so that a Product can register with the publisher to handle SOAP requests
- Have the publisher hand off where appropriate to a registered SOAP handler if installed, else return an HTTP NotImplemented or similar if there is no SOAP handler
- Apply the KISS rule: only one product can register to the be the SOAP handler, and resist turning this into any kind of grand-unified-pluggable-publisher architecture ;)
This would be minimally disruptive to the Zope core, while enabling people interested in SOAP to evolve different solutions without everybody having to buy into a particular approach or implementation right now.
A little late, but +1 anyway.
