//! SOAP 1.1 envelope binding (SAML 2.0 Bindings §3.2, "SAML SOAP Binding").
//!
//! SOAP is the back-channel binding the SAML protocol uses for synchronous
//! request/response exchanges that do not pass through the user agent:
//! artifact resolution (`ArtifactResolve` / `ArtifactResponse`, Bindings §3.6)
//! and back-channel Single Logout (`LogoutRequest` / `LogoutResponse` over
//! SOAP, Profiles §4.4). The PAOS / ECP profile (Profiles §4.2) layers on the
//! same envelope, so this module is deliberately **binding-agnostic**: it
//! knows how to wrap and unwrap a single SOAP `<soap:Body>` payload and how to
//! recognise a `<soap:Fault>`, and nothing about SAML message structure.
//!
//! # SOAP 1.1, not 1.2
//!
//! SAML 2.0 Bindings §3.2.1 pins the binding to SOAP 1.1
//! (`http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/`). The HTTP conventions
//! (Bindings §3.2.3) are `Content-Type: text/xml` and a `SOAPAction` header;
//! SAML requires neither a specific `SOAPAction` value nor SOAP headers, so
//! we emit an empty quoted `SOAPAction: ""`.
//!
//! # Feature gating
//!
//! This module compiles whenever a binding that uses it is enabled — the
//! HTTP-Artifact binding (`artifact-binding`), back-channel SLO (`slo`), or the
//! ECP / PAOS profile (`ecp`). It does **not** require `weak-algos`: the
//! envelope itself carries no SHA-1 dependency (only the artifact `SourceID`
//! does), so ECP reuses it without opting into weak algorithms.
//!
//! # SOAP headers
//!
//! Most callers (artifact, SLO) wrap a bare `<soap:Body>` with no
//! `<soap:Header>`. ECP (Profiles §4.2) needs header blocks — `<paos:Request>`,
//! `<ecp:Request>`, `<ecp:Response>`, `<paos:Response>` — so this module also
//! exposes `wrap_with_header` (build an envelope carrying caller-supplied
//! header element blocks) and `UnwrappedEnvelope` (recover both the header
//! blocks and the body payload), both `pub(crate)` and gated on `ecp`. They
//! reuse the same element/parse machinery as [`wrap`] / [`unwrap`]; ECP does
//! not fork a second envelope builder.
