Ah, I see that this issue is already noted as a bug in bugzilla. But, no
one had figured out your 'work-around'. I added the info in the thread
above as a comment to the bug. The bug is:

FWIW, This is working as designed. The issue is that arbitrary XML
'names' need to be mapped to legal JS 'identifiers' in and easily
reversible way. I remember discussing this with Vidur at the time (he
did most of this work). We agreed to do something *very* simple and just
use a single underscore as an escape character. We were aware of the
downside, but decided to do it this way anyway. This was 5+ years ago
and this Soap support for mozilla was a very experimental project.
The code is in the two static methods:
WSPFactory::C2XML and WSPFactory::XML2C at
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/extensions/webservices/proxy/src/wspfactory.cpp#209
I can imagine other escaping strategies (e.g. a multi-character escape
indicator). Of course, changing this now would break any code that
*expects* the current behavior.
As to bug filing... If you go to the main bugzilla page
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org) and search for bugs with "wsdl" in the
subject line you'll get a list of some of the bugs and feature requests
related to this module. It appears that bugs are filed as: Product:
Core, Component: Web Services.

I'm trying to use the WebServiceProxyFactory to access a public web
service at:
http://soap.genome.jp/KEGG.wsdl.
I'm seeing some weird behavior, which is either a bug or I don't
understand what's going on. The WSDL for this service defines a bunch
of methods, among them: get_genes_by_organism.
<operation name="get_genes_by_organism">
<input message="typens:get_genes_by_organismRequest"/>
<output message="typens:get_genes_by_organismResponse"/>
</operation>
The trouble is, the proxy generated by the factory ends up with names
like this: get_005fgenes_005fby_005forganism.
Suspiciously, 0x005f is unicode for the underscore character. Maybe the
underscores are messing things up? Or maybe the WSDL is in an
unexpected character encoding?
It works if I call the methods with the munged up names, but it's not
pretty. Anyone seen similar problems? Is there a good place to file a
bug report?
Thanks,
