Does anyone know what the "MIME-XML technology to wrap and send the
message" this article discusses might be?

It sounds at the end like there's some Sun messaging spec (JAXN) involved,
but I'm pretty irritated to find 'MIME-XML technology' set up in some kind
of weird contrast to SOAP.

I don't love SOAP, and I doubt the journalist was given great information
about this 'MIME-XML' critter, but I'm really scratching my head.
