Well, if you take a look at the structure of the SOAP messages, you can see 
that 0.67 is using a 2001 schema, while 0.60 is still using a 1999 schema. 
This means that almost all tags in the SOAP message are completely 
difference, even the most basic ones. Of course, there are additional ones 
too, but to me it seems most likely that the older SOAP is looking for 
high-level tags, which are no longer provided by S::L 0.67, and therefore 
it thinks that the entire message is empty. I could be wrong (it's happened 
once or twice before ;-), but my sense is that my problem at least (and 
that of any new MOBY users who happen along) is not necessarily at the 
level of "anyURL", WSDL, or some other feature.
