Yes, the SOAP spec doesn't define an encoding/decoding processor; it defines for better or for worse a mechanism by which data can be encoded based on the SOAP data model. How that mechanism is implemented is entirely up to the implementer. IMO, as spec writers we have nothing to say about specific implementation choices. In this context, I do not preclude or assume any of the possible solutions you mention.
