The "encoded" encoding style of a WSDL binding has been disallowed since the
WS-I Basic Profile 1.0 - only "literal" is allowed.
5.6.4 Encodings and the use Attribute
The Profile prohibits the use of encodings, including the SOAP encoding.
R2706 A wsdl:binding in a DESCRIPTION MUST use the value of "literal" for the use attribute in all soapbind:body, soapbind:fault, soapbind:header and soapbind:headerfault elements

Just because there is a standard doesn't mean that there is, or ever will be, (widespread) technical support for it.
