No, but the challenges of dealing with the overwhelming complexity of the 
XML family of specs, only a subset/profile of which do Web service 
developers and users any good, is definitely a topic of discussion in the 
Web Services Architecture WG.  (Our last F2F had a couple of hours of 
discussion that reminded me of dear old sml-dev <grin>).  It's not so much 
that the SOAP community is pushing for a new version of XML, but that it 
pushed back on requests to make the entire set of XML legal in SOAP 
messages.  This obviously leaves us all in an uneasy situation -- only a 
SOAP-aware processor can "validate" that an XML document that conforms to 
the SOAP schemas is actually legal SOAP.  Again, this is a VERY VERY WELL 
AIRED issue on xml-dist-app, and very nicely summarized on www-tag in a 
recent post by Noah Mendelsohn.

Actually, as I interpret recent TAG discussions, they have taken the 
initiative and acknowledged the profiles/subsetting issue as something that 
the W3C has to address.  I believe the XML Core WG has the ball at this 
point, but this is a bit up in the air at this time AFAIK.
