Apple on board, supports SOAP and XML-RPC in Mac OS X

[Dave Winer]

I wish there were more hoopla about this, and there's a typo on the page
[1], but the effect is the same.

"AppleScript also uses the Internet standard SOAP and [XML-RPC] protocols to
enable communication across your network so you can send AppleScript events
from one Mac OS X system to another."

We worked with Apple on their XML-RPC and SOAP 1.1 implementation for Mac OS
X. It's very beautifully integrated into the OS. Since we're under
non-disclosure, I'm not sure what more I can say at this time, other than
Welcome Apple, seriously!
