Complexity is a relative - writing a "hello world" program may be complex for someone who has no background in programming but trivial even for a novice programmer. SML is based on XML Schema and should not be complex for anyone who understand XML Schema. It is not related to SOAP - you don't need to know SOAP to understand SML and the SML specs do not use any SOAP concepts. SML is a general-purpose modeling language and is not meant to define any IT-specific models. The CML (Common Model Library) effort will create a standard library of SML-based common models for IT services and systems. This entry states that SML is unduly complex and related to SOAP.
