Sean,

All we need is geocoding. Are there non-SOAP ways to get this from the 
server side? We are finding the Microsoft documentation extremely hard 
to comprehend, so it's hard to tell.

Since all we need is geocoding, we're perfectly happy to fake up a SOAP 
body and send that, rather than using a real SOAP library.

Thanks,

Reid
