The interoperability problem here isn't as tough as it sounds: if you 
don't know that the other side(s) understands your alternate 
representation, you don't use it. In many current SOAP scenarii it's 
easy to get both sides to agree. Also, from the work that I'm seeing 
around WSDL 1.2 I have good hope that there will be the right type of 
metadata to describe the serialization that is being used. After all, 
it's just the exact same interoperability problem that people wishing to 
use gzip compression in Web Services encounter.
