language independent
platform independent
uses http
uses xml
has error handling builtin
makes use of namespaces
supports schemas
message can be used and modified before arriving at final destination
looks good on your resume

You left out the most important result of that list - "Standardization" - which should make it possible for any SOAP server to publish a WSDL and be used by any client on the net with no further problem.

Soap keeps your hands clean.
Soap keeps programmers smelling fresh.
Soap makes great bubbles in the bathtub.

One of the comments on the SOAP is Dead link mentions "the REST API"!? 
Hello? I thought REST was a vaguely defined philosophy - now it has an API??
