For issue #5898:
Work has begun on removing the System.Web.Services source fork and transitioning to the official System.Web.Services.Description NuGet package.
A direct replacement was blocked by a type system mismatch: the current implementation depends on a custom Microsoft.Xml fork, while the NuGet package relies on standard System.Xml types. In addition, required importer/exporter logic (e.g., SoapSchemaImporter) exists only in the fork and is not available in modern .NET.
To unblock the migration, a partial extraction and modernization of the Microsoft.Xml layer was completed:
During refactoring, regressions affecting RPC/Encoded WSDL scenarios were identified and resolved, including:
The Microsoft.Xml layer now functions as a lightweight compatibility bridge using standard .NET types, clearing the primary blocker for the eventual removal of the System.Web.Services and the broader framework source fork.
