Naresh,
Toolkits use doc/lit because it's the least-problematic combination in
WSDL 1.1, in terms of interoperability and even in terms of clarity of
the spec.
SOAP Encoding and SOAP RPC Representation were optional even in SOAP
1.1, even though the specification was not all that explicit about it.
The existence of doc/lit in WSDL 1.1 (which uses SOAP 1.1) proves it.
WS-Description WG has not dropped support for graph data encoding (it is
in their chapter), it just dropped the WSDL 1.1 "encoded" form of using
SOAP Encoding with XML Schema, mostly because it abused XML Schema and
it was not very well specified.
Best regards,
