Yeah, and it is true that the logic is not the only reason ... just like
any other human custom.

No. Non-SOAP examples, if your time permits. Because I found some
familiar names in the SOAP spec and that makes me think of the
possibility of the strong connection between the two specs.

I don't understand why you always regard this as "data vs document", as

Do you admit that the default value of elementFormDefault is a
controversial topic?
