Attachments are tricky -- the industry has not yet adopted a standard way to send attachments (the industry is converging on MTOM, but products don't support it yet). It's also difficult to properly secure them, so I generally discourage folks from using attachments at this time.
Unless it's essential for you to maintain the full-fidelity of the XML document (including the <?xml> root element), I recommend sending your document as an XML fragment within the SOAP envelope. If you must maintain the <?xml> root element, then I suggest that you convert the XML document to a string, and send it inside the SOAP element. As a general rule, I recommend using the "wrapped" document/literal style of service. If you look the archives of this list, you can find a lot of information on the "wrapped" style.
