I still do not understand. Why can't I serialize a List with exactly the same XML representation as an array? And deserialize it back to a List? Why does the other side have to know anything about this?

C does not easily know how to deal with some of the collection types.

How is that relevant?

  You can look at http://docs.pushtotest.com/axisdocs/user-guide.html
for some information on writing a custom serializer/deserializer, then
you can get your server and client to send collections across, perhaps.

Forget the other side of the transaction. I want to make an isolated change.

These links you gave me seem focused on registering a new type and providing a way to serialize/deserialize it. I want to change how arrays are serialized.
