Most of the SOAP services I know offer an WSDL file. soap-client.el
gives you full support for that.
For debbugs a soap-lite.el package would have helped me three years ago,
but this is old history.

Well, looking at very complex WSDL files I believe it helps to
understand and implement the API details. With the experience of
debbugs, I believe it would have been more simple to implement it with
an existing WSDL file. Debugging Debbugs::SOAP (the Perl module from the
BTS team) was not simple as I hoped.
Something like soap-lite (be it Perl or Lisp) is easy to use for the
guys offering a service, as it has been for the BTS team. They know what
is behind. If you are just a "consumer" of an API, WSDL is more useful
for understanding.
Best regards, Michael.
