This is absolutely intended to be the case! In my proposal, one could
have a header block that looks like this (taken from part 2) showing
that contents of the Transaction header block is encoded according to
SOAP encoding:

<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope" >
 <env:Header>
  <t:Transaction 
     xmlns:t="http://example.org/2001/06/tx"
     xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
     xsi:type="xs:int"
     env:encodingStyle="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-encoding"
     env:mustUnderstand="1" >
     5
  </t:Transaction>
 </env:Header>
 <env:Body>
  ...

However, the Header element information item does itself not follow any
particular encoding and neither does the envelope.
