You seem to be missing the point that SOAP is also a wire protocol. It
is not sufficient to define a data model, but also to define what the
bits (bytes) on the wire must look like.  If you mandate either one in
isolation, you can end up making it very difficult to make strictly
conforming implementations.

E.g., if you say "Xpath data model" and I'm building on top of a DOM, it
can be hard for me to outlaw CDATA.
