newbie: SOAP Encoding vs Literal XML

hello all,

hope this question is not a rtfm one:

why is there a need for literal xml encoding? according to the specs, soap 
encoding supports strings, so why just not serialize a soap document into a 
string and transfer it using ordinary soap encoding?

is this a matter of efficiency, or would the suggested approach not even 
work? in such case, why, and what other limitations are there to string 
transfered using soap encoding?
