XML RPC is simple - it has a 4 page specification. SOAP is, well, not so simple. SOAP started out simple, but then committees got a hold of it. Try reading the specification - it's well over 100 pages long - and all legaleeze.
The "Simple" in SOAP is like the Green in Greenland... it's there to keep the non-Vikings out... Look for Complex Hyperbolic Interface Protocol, that'll be the one that M$ ACTUALLY uses...
