FWIW, you would be better off having each on a different URL and select
based on URL rather than trying to have some magic switch based on what
the incoming content type is. Remember that both SOAP and XML-RPC are
incoming content type of "text/xml", so how are you going to know when
it is one or the other if everything comes in through the one URL.

Also, when you say CGI, do you really mean any GET/POST where form
parameters are being processed? There are better ways in mod_python
of doing things than using CGI style handlers.
