Simple Object Access Protocol. It's a way to exchange information
using XML, and it's designed to work transparently between
computers. It is, however, a little slow; instead of caching
knowledge about the other objects, you *must* read each envelope to
see whether anything has changed. This allows distributed
environments to work more reliably, but at the expense of
efficiency.
