SOAP+REST: Why?

mnot declares
I’m a little confused by Mark Baker’s stance regarding SOAP; he seems to encourage the Web services world to use SOAP on top of HTTP in a fashion compatible with HTTP.


MarkB responds he's offering a face-saving out for SOAP vendors. Is that the best reason? I can't think of one reason to wrap the messages I traffic in, in a SOAP envelope. What are the use cases for RESTful SOAP, please?
