 * An interface defining SOAP constants.  This allows various parts of the
 * engine to avoid hardcoding dependence on a particular SOAP version and its
 * associated URIs, etc.
 * 
 * This might be fleshed out later to encapsulate factories for behavioral
 * objects which act differently depending on the SOAP version, but for now
 * it just supplies common namespaces + QNames.
