Sometimes you just wish software architects weren't so creative or, at least, were more coordinated. It seems that's what happened with SOAP, the standard format for web services messages. The SOAP specification started out defining a lot of protocol-specific XML structures that now, in hindsight, could obviously better be delegated to the W3C XML Schema language, the whole purpose of which is to define the structure of XML documents. It's a disconnect that the Java community is still working out.
