On the opposite, they will be notified on this by server with 'hard' validation enabled.

the soft validation is not supposed to accept arbitrary strings for
integer arguments. it also should verify {min,max}_occurs and nillable
properties. if it doesn't respect the constraints, it's a bug. please
provide a self-contained test case that illustrates the problem in the
issue tracker so that i can work on it.

soap-wrapped-by-http standard dictates HTTP 500 for any kind of error.
the client should parse the faultcode element to see whether the error
is the client's or the server's fault. the faultcodes for soft
validation and lxml validation are Client.ValidationError and
Client.SchemaValidationError respectively. if that's not the case for
any kind of validation error, it's a bug. again, provide a
self-containted test case that illustrates this in a separate issue so
that i can fix it.
