Yes.

I'm tempted to just leave it at that.  But, to be more elaborate: yes,
some sort of content compression feature could easily be defined, and
then in the WSDL, the service would express its requirements.

If this is a known use case, we should add it in and see if we can't
generate the underlying feature descriptions, etc., that would make its
unambiguous resolution in WSDL 1.2 certain.
