Yes; apologies for the typo.

In my understanding, for SoapServer, the parameter has to be a sting 
containing whatever POSTed data to be consumed by service. Basically if 
you give the SOAP envelope, it works.
For WSService, as we support MTOM, we should be able to provide the 
string with MIME stuff.
