This is not good.. you should not be sending an XML payload in a SOAP

I totally agree here. However I see (too) many people doing this. Any
idea what makes people choose this approach?
I guess lots of people still use XML as strings, falsely thinking its
more optimal.. recently I helped a client who generated loads of XML
using String concatenation! And I have even seen some publicly available
web services that defines elements such as follows :-)
<strProduct>xxx</strProduct>
<strSubProd>yyy</strSubProd>
<strService>zzz</strService>
<strSvcType />
