True, but I think the situation is a bit more subtle than this, and I believe it does merit some clarifications in future versions of SOAP/XMLP. You are right that SOAP effectively references the datatypes specification of schemas for its simple types, even when schemas or WSDL is not being used for overall validation. However, it's my recollation that the statement that documents are to be viewed per the infoset specification is in the schema structures spec, which is not currently referenced by or required for SOAP. While I agree with those who say that SOAP should not depend on W3C XML schema structures, or any other fixed schema language (though it should work well with them), I do think it would make sense to indicate that SOAP message documents are indeed interpreted as infosets. I believe that would make clear the behavior that you are already inferring.
