Kirk, you are correct about people's understanding about what goes over the wire. people talk about xml web services as this great thing...which it is. but in order for microsoft to make it ubiquitous they hid everything so that anyone can create a basic service without really any understanding of what is going on.

i strongly encourage everyone to use something like tcptrace.exe (a little shareware tool that let's you peak at what is coming and going over the wire) as well as WebServices Studio (which gives a huge amount of functionality) and getting to know wsdl (a very powerful construct).

While I agree that XML != Object, I find it useful to think about how my data will look (modeled as objects) when I code my XSD schemas and the Type section of the WSDL contract.

I take it that you encounter the "glazed look" a lot more from people who build web-services from code out rather than WSDL in... ?
