The binding code in 1.1 is nothing to copy, and there's really no chance it 
would work for PAOS. Those APIs cannot handle a front-channel model, they 
were for SOAP.

If you want to write a message encoder/decoder pair for 2.0 that would make a 
lot more sense but it might also be getting done anyway. The problem with 
PAOS is the SOAP headers, particularly on the encoder side. The decoder model 
should fit it without much trouble, and it might actually just be 
unnecessary, the normal SOAP decoder might be sufficient.
