SOAP is used far more than most people realize. I deal extensively in "cutting edge" industries that rely heavily on SOAP or SOAP based protocols. Supply chain systems and manufacturing.

But in scenarios where the person generating the XML is untrusted?
I'm aware of plenty of usage of SOAP, but only between companies that have contractual relationships with each other and who could easily sue each other if one of them tried to exploit a security bug.
That greatly mitigates the risk of a security bug being exploited, especially something like a DOS attack that is easily noticed.
