Cape Clear's Web Services platform also supports SOAP attachments (as well as a number of other functional advantages, such as complex types, .NET support & multiple app server support), and we have a number of projects already in production using this functionality. We were just weary to respond on a vendor agnostic list, but would like to help the community in any way possible as Graham has done :)

I have no idea if its better than the above 2 ways, or if apache-soap supports it.
