Returning an XML document as an encoded string is "legal", but it doesn't always work, depending on the content in the nested document. It's always a better idea to strip off the <?xml..> header and just send the root element as a child of the SOAP body.

I'm sure this is a really dumb question, but I am completely new to web services, and my employer suddenly requires me to implement one. Is it acceptable for a web service to return a text value that is actually an XML document? This would mean that the SOAP response would actually comprise an XML document nested within an XML document. Is this legal? Thanks, Rich.
