Very cool stuff - SOAP solves the granularity of transport issues we 
have (esp with *large* sequences) - and this bridge looks very funkey. 
Also, at that point, we don't need to make decisions about which to use, 
as they can shair an object-model.

Perhaps we should realy have a BioUML that is then projected as CORBA, 
SOAP etc. and transduced into the apropreate language-specific bindings 
for perl, java, python. The process of formalizing the utopian UML to a 
particular language can be non-linear (allowing for things like the 
different representations of raw sequences).
