I'm the maintainer.  Here's the code snipet to create untyped SOAP 
request (SOAP XML instance does not include any "xsd:type=..."  kind of 
attributes).  But I still am not clear on your requirements.  I hope you 
can find something from my example.

0% cat baz.rb
require 'soap/rpc/driver'
server = ARGV.shift
drv = SOAP::RPC::Driver.new(server, "urn:test")
drv.default_encodingstyle = 
::SOAP::EncodingStyle::ASPDotNetHandler::Namespace

class Customer
   attr_accessor :Name, :Last
   def initialize(name, last)
     @Name, @Last = name, last
   end
end

drv.add_method("getCustomer", "CustomerData")
drv.wiredump_dev = STDOUT
drv.getCustomer(Customer.new("Hi", "Na"))

0% ruby baz.rb <somewhere>
