My presumption was that this was a toolset issue and we were ignoring  
that sort of thing. After all the following is also valid XML,

<TagOne>
     <TagTwo>35</TagTwo>
     36
</TagOne>

let alone,

<TagOne attribOne="35" >
     36
</TagOne>

which seems to be the problem case? SOAP is just one of the transport  
mechanisms we're using, and will probably be dead long before XML,  
and both will probably be dead before FITS. I don't think we should  
bend our XML standards around what does and doesn't work (easily)  
with SOAP.
