Please help this "old Dog". Just what is SOAP . . .
It is a metallic salt of a fatty acid, used as a detergent (if water soluble), or as a thickening agent for greases (if insoluble). Insoluble soaps are also a by-product of washing with soluble ones in hard water; they are the principal binding agent in the infamous "bathtub ring." Soap functions as a degergent because each molecule has both a polar, water-soluble, hydrophyllic end, and a nonpolar, oil-soluble, hydrophobic end. Thus, it acts as an emulsifier and a surface-active agent.
There is also a photo-enhancement software product called, if memory serves correctly, Kai's Photo Soap.
Oh, that kind of SOAP. I'm as clueless as you are about that.. . . in the XML context?
