Delphi 2006 offers a better implementation - and more work in being done 
(made available for Delphi 2006 as well, or so I've been lead to 
believe), check the .soap newsgroup for details.

You mean you want your code to compile with Delphi 6 even if made with 
Delphi 2006? Of you want to compile your existing Delphi 6 application 
with Delphi 2006? Both is possible, although backwards compatibility may 
mean you have to eliminate some properties. I must admit I never tried 
to load a Delphi 2006 form back into 6...
