A collection of EDMSimpleType values MUST be represented as a single XML document with the root element of the document equal to the name of the service operation, action, or function returning the values. The root element and all its child elements MUST exist in the Data Service Namespace, as described in Common Serialization Rules for XML-based Formats (section 2.2.6.1).

The text value of the XML element is formatted, as described in the EDM Primitive Type Formats for XML Element Values table in Common Serialization Rules for XML-based Formats (section 2.2.6.1).
