Why not build VOS layered on top of HTTP, XML-RPC, SOAP, BEEP, CORBA, or some other existing system?

Why not build VOS layered on top of HTTP, XML-RPC, SOAP, BEEP, CORBA, or some other existing system?

If necessary, VOS could be tunneled over any of these transports, or an adapter or bridge service could connect a VOS system to another existing system. However, because we have our own object model, message format, and network transport protocol, these standards wouldn’t buy VOS itself anything. In fact, a single-stream based system like HTTP (and therefore XML-RPC, SOAP, etc.) actually can prevent a VOS system from performing acceptably in an interactive multi-client environment.
