I'd say the latter, because the fact that web services use XML is an
implementation detail that should be transparent to both the provider
and consumer.  I.e. if the returntype of the CFC method is 'string',
you might be returning XML, but if the returntype of the method is
'struct', you're not returning XML (even though on the wire it might
be encoded as XML).
