YE, I was thinking more of return or argument data. If I want to send it in XML format, how would the client know what to do with it? I just looked up a service as an example and that has a method to download the schema for the xml it requires as one of it's arguments. So I'm guessing that that's the way it's done.

Do you just tell users > it's XML and then distribute schemas or what? SOAP provides its own XML schema; any SOAP client will automatically know how to interpret a SOAP Envelope.
