Not true at all. There are no size limitations in the design of SOAP format.
Some of today's toolkits do not handle large messages well, but they also
don't handle SOAP itself well sometimes. :)
What he saw, was performance hit of using DOM XML model.
Attachments have specifically been designed for large data blocks, that for
some reason may not be favorable to stick in the body/header.
(Large XML data, Binary data, etc)
Use SAX and possibly attachments... :)
