I'd rather see a spec for a SOAP version of the API. I
have issues with the current API but have been holding
off on commenting until there was actually a SOAP
version specified since this is what I am interested
in implementing.


For instance, I'd rather use WS-Security than some
custom HTTP headers which have been hinted at as what
the RESTful ATOM APi will support.

FYI: The SOAP version is based on


http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/wss/documents/WSS-Username-02-0223-merged.pdf

This matches what is used by

http://ws.microsoft.com/MsComService/MsCom.asmx

If no one plans to write this then I'm ready to
volunteer to start working on a document describing
the SOAP version of the ATOM API which will move in
lock step with the RESTful ATOM API.

A SOAP API that is in lock step with the REST API is exactly the point of the URL that Steve mentioned above.
