TclSoap converts the output of a remote call into nested list and key value 
pairs.

So, the output of your faceplates is an array of key-value pairs.

set facePlateResponse [remote_faceplate_call $params]

foreach item $facePlateResponse {
    array set facePlate $item
    puts "Name: $facePlate(name)"
    puts "Type:   $facePlate(type) "
  # you get the idea
}

If you are trying to create a service that will return the faceplate xml 
you specified,
you should take a look at my SOAP-wsdl package. It makes creating web 
services in
tclsoap much easier. http://www.geocities.com/blackboy9692002/tclsoap/
