Apologies for posting a suggestion when I'm not going to be around to 
read responses (the sun's going home here, and so should I) but one 
solution would be for WSDL to provide a feature similar to 
http:urlEncoded [1] for the HTTP GET binding - call the extension 
http:urlPayload, and specify that the resulting URL takes the form

    http://example.com/myWebService?payload=<myUrlEncodedXml>

Assume UTF-8 encoding - it's not very pretty but we could do worse....

Francis.
