Confusion about soap:encoding and own xml-schemas

Hello,

is it possible to include in a soap-body an xml-Document that conforms to a 
special schema and can I mention the namespace in the first element under 
"body"?
Or are there restrictions on how the schema can be defined. I read 
somewhere that attributes are ignored and the encoding rules do not include 
all possibilities, that are in xml-schemas.

I generally do not understand why I need the encoding rules, thought it 
should be part of the schema??

I would be glad to get some explanations about possibilities/restrictions 
 when using own schemas and explanactions, when I need encoding rules and 
there relation to schemas!

Thank you very much!!

Inga
