Peter Coffee singles out SOAP as a potential menace in his article on the
latest virus and active content:

http://www.zdnet.com/pcweek/stories/jumps/0,4270,2561866,00.html

It's under "don't expect kindness from strangers".

While I don't think by any means it's an argument for abandoning SOAP and
similar protocols, it's worth remembering that these things need close
watching and security infrastructures.
