Hi,
Application/soap+xml refers to RFC 3902
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3902.txt which in turn refer to
http://www.w3.org/2000/xp/Group/ 
I suppose if some one could donate some traces it'd be easier to understand
what's needed to be done.

It will take time but I am working on an advanced xml dissector that
will use DTDs to interpret the data in the xml as fields.

that is:

<country>
    Republic of Ireland
    <capital>
       Dublin
    </capital>
    ...
</country>
 

given the right DTD we could filter with:
 xml.country == "Republic of Ireland" && xml.country.capital == "Dublin"

I aborted recently the Idea of having a single namespace API for
radius, diameter, xml, and mate
I got to the point where I found that either the API would have to be
too complex to fit them all or the dissectors would become much
complex themselves to use a common Namespace library.

I'm almost done with radius, I think I'll go next xml to then go to
diameter.

As for SOAP goes if then we can describe it with a DTD we'll be able
to dissect it.

Luis.
