Most of the SOAP implementations I know declare the schema and 
schema-instance namespaces.

While SOAP1.1 officially points to an obsolete draft of the XMLSchema 
standard, the consensus among the soap interoperability folks (the 
soapbuilders mailing list at yahoogroups), is to use SOAP 1.1 with the 
official Schema standard.  Many will accept any of three XML Schema 
URI's, and try to generate a reply in the same namespace, but that is 
considered an interim measure.

I think you'll see no pushback from the SOAP developers community if you 
specify SOAP 1.1 with the XML Schema NS.
