Short answer: the type information is optional, but lightweight implementation are probably right to demand it because it's really easy to break everything when it's absent.
I know python, but this SOAP crap is a can of worms. The hoops we have to jump through at work in order to support C++, C# and java SOAP classes are too numerous to mention. If we go loest common denominator and use the most basic, verbose and inefficient XML we can think of then it just about works. And even then we often have to put "that list of Foo nodes into a Foos node" or something similar.
