Since you seem to be using SOAP for transferring binary data, you might 
want to consider an alternative: I have a pretty small implementation of 
SOAP with attachments based on XmlPull/KXML. It allows you to transfer a 
multipart message consisting of a main SOAP part and an arbitrary number 
of binary attachments. The XML part doesn't get bloated, since the 
binary data is in the attachments. Elements in the SOAP part can refer 
to the attachments via href. The code might not yet be 100% stable, but 
I already use it in a number of projects. It works nicely so far and 
even operates with the latest Web Services package from Sun (which also 
supports SOAP with attachments).

I thought I could contribute it to XmlPull/contrib or so when it's 
ready. If you're interested, I can send you the current source.

Regards,

Jörg
