No one (AFAIK) is suggesting OpenSRS change their message format
and APIs, just offer a standard communications protocol to exchange
the existing messages and access the existing APIs.
XML data can be passed just fine using XML Web Services, so
use the same XCP/TPP XML messages, just allow them to be sent
via SOAP. Or via straight HTTP POST over SSL.
This could be easily accomplished with ZERO impact simply by setting
up a "proxy" to the existing system.
