You should look at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconcustomizingsoapinaspnetwebserviceswebservicec...

and
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconcontrollingserializationbyxmlserializerwithattr...

I think if you apply a
[return: XmlArray("ElementName")]
attribute to the webmethod, you may get what you want.
