I agree with this.  In particular, XML DSIG and XML-Encryption are based 
on the XPath model.  Since I think signatures and encryption are crucial 
to the deployment of web services, and since I think it'll be a cold day 
in h... before the security folks get together to revise those specs to 
use the Infoset model, I tend to view SOAP 1.2 and its ilk as more DOA 
than SOA.
