If you can do an XSLT transformation to different versions I wonder how important the change was in the first place?


As TFA notes, replacing a boolean with an enumeration is a breaking change, but can be transformed back easily enough assuming the enumeration just increases the granularity of the original states.

And SOAP is usually schema-verified, so adding fields will generally be a breaking change.


Our most common case for this is adding a field to a data model: that will break a SOAP client. The XSLT just strips out the new field.
