Is this more a WSDL level requirement or a packaging requirement? If
its the latter, isn't it basically saying the packaging must be a
single XML element?

Even if the serialization of each of the parts is in XML, why do you
want to preclude the following model:
    <soap:envelope>
      <soap:body>
        <the main thing goes here/>
        <"attachment" 1 goes here/>
        <"attachment" 2 goes here/>
        ...
      </soap:body>
    </soap:envelope>

Or is this kind of packaging supported in your requirement? (I can't
tell.) Does it preclude a MIME (e.g., SwA) packaging?
