rpc/literal and wrapped document/literal may look identical on the wire if you define your doc/literal schema as elementFormDefault="unqualified". If you define the schema as elementFormDefault="qualified", then the parameter elements will be namespace qualified, and the messages won't be quite the same.
The major difference between rpc/literal and wrapped doc/literal is that with rpc/literal you do not have a schema of the contents of the <soap:Body>, and with wrapped doc/literal you do have a schema. When using rpc/literal, you don't define the message element, you only define the element types, and the SOAP engine automatically builds the message structure based on the type definitions. You can validate the message using a schema, but the validation routine must understand the RPC generation conventions, so it's not quite as straightforward as when using doc/literal. Another important difference is that .NET supports wrapped doc/literal (by default), but it does not support rpc/literal. rpc/encoded is a significantly different creature than rpc/literal. In this case, the SOAP engine constructs the message not based on the schema definition, but based on the SOAP encoding model. Schema validation typically doesn't work.
