Repeat after me, Embassies aren't foreign soil, they're just buildings that have been accorded diplomatic status.

Although if you've committed a crime in country X, any soil outside country X including its embassies and such, is foreign. Not sure about international waters; a different set of rules apply there, but I doubt anybody's going to lift a finger if Assange is nabbed from a dinghy floating halfway between the UK and South America.

Hm, I take that back. A lot of fingers will be lifted, to then descend on keyboards. But nothing more than that.
