[osflash] WSDL to ActionScript

[Aral Balkan]

I'm not blanket dismissing SOAP. I am just saying that web services  
should be consumed *on the server*, not the client (on untrusted  
networks.) In such a scenario, it's much better to consume the web  
service on the server and expose it to the client in a more efficient  
manner (for example, Flash Remoting.) This way, you can transmit  
information securely and implement redundancy.

Robert brought up use cases that I hadn't considered (kiosks, etc.)  
where I wouldn't have such an objection.
