I admit I'm getting into territory which I'm really not familiar with...
... but isn't this a problem only if you use
env:encodingStyle="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-encoding" ?
The final part of the article you cite
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-soaprdf/
says
===
there is no reason you should have to mutate our SOAP message into RPC
form in order to use SOAP. If you are not locked in by the need for RPC
integration into other systems, you can take the more natural course,
the declarative approach of sending the data and leaving the remote
system free to process it as seen fit. There is no official RDF encoding
for SOAP yet, but this discussion is based on the conventions and
prescriptions of RDF and SOAP.

See their Listing 6 example and a similar one in section 5.2 of:
