It's a hook to allow the application-level to transmit its own needs to the optimization machinery below. That way, for example, some WSDL-independent run-time optimization policy could get further tuned by the presence of WSDL-specified optimization hints. Optimization of base64 strings is not, by the way, a good thing by default. It has a cost/benefits trade off, and some applications might want to have a direct say in that trade-off, instead of just relying on a generic optimization engine.
