I actually think the SOAP model works extremely well in this case - it
provides a hook for mandatory evolution which can be used to extend SOAP
based applications as well as SOAP itself and it is all based on URIs but
leaves the exact policy (or policies) undetermined and part of the
application.

...and URIs are of course opaque
