You could, but it is not recognized as such (I think).  E.g. SOAP is 
evaluated, and this is indeed recognized as  remote API.  The report does not 
stated, for which purpose this remote API should be used.  Is it to populate 
and to retrieve data from the server?  Wouldn't you call ldap in that case 
the remote API?  However, I can imagine that people are more familair with 
soap syntax than the ldap syntax.  So, yes I can imagine that people expect 
an SOAP interface to be part of kolab.  Would that be hard to add?  There is 
already an http server running, so that's not the problem.  Now the 
problematic part is the conversion from and to the SOAP structure to the ldap 
structure.  That would be a nice GSoC subject ;)
