Just to be clear, if you're referring to the response generating stuff
he earlier posted, that's not really the SOAP client code, it's just
generic SOAP code that really ought to work. In fact I thought we even
used some of that in the delegation work, like helper methods to set
header blocks and things like that.

Yes, it's true that the SOAP client we have isn't used by us and
consequently isn't well tested. Although, as far as I know, it does
work for at least simple thing, I think I built some client with it to
generate SOAP messages into the IdP for testing something without having
to use an actual SP (actually maybe the delegation handler).
