I don't think we can do this and still remain a JAX-WS implementation. According to the JAX 2.1 Specification of May 2007, Chapter 11.1 (HTTP Binding--Configuration), it says:
"Conformance (XML/HTTP Binding Support): An implementation MUST support the XML/HTTP binding." Perhaps we can wait a bit until a future JAX-WS spec drops this requirement, due to the growth of REST web services. In the interim, you might wish to send an email to the JSR-224 group asking them to make this optional.
