SOAP is proof that a good idea can be a bad idea. Like XML-RPC. I've still a fan of what is now called "restful" (and was just the way things worked...) but don't subscribe to the GET/POST/PUT makes it work differently idea. And I have to admit: I'm liking JSON as a format for moving data. json_encode/decode in PHP and JavaScript play well together.
