Re: issue: SOAP requirements

[Tatsuhiko Miyagawa <miyagawa@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some mobile phone clients (like DoJa[1], NTT DoCoMo i-mode Java) can't
send customized HTTP headers. And I've heard there're some mobile
gateway servers that strip out all of them, even if agents can set.

With SOAP version of Atom, you can put HTTP verbs and WSSE auth stuff
into the SOAP envelope.
