We have two choices there:
1/ have CDL defined in terms of infoset
2/ define our own inclusion mechanism (with all the rulse saying that it
    is only a syntactic inclusion, etc...)

SOAP 1.2 is defined in terms of infoset.
WSDL 2.0 has its own data model, and they defined an inclusion mechanism 
different from XInclude for that reason.

In 1/ we have to evaluate the impact on CDL, in 2/ we have to argue why we 
need that new inclusion mechanism (which is related to 1/), so I have no 
real preference, as long as we keep the original proposal which is to have 
a syntactic only inclusion mechanism (ie: including a variable definition 
form another choreo doesn't mean importing its semantic)
