RE: XML Schema comment "T2" on WSDL 2.0

Thanks for the suggestion, but the WG decided to make a much smaller revision to the text in response, replacing "with some additional restrictions" in section 3.1.1 by "with the differences defined in this and the following section".  We expect to issue a second Last Call shortly, and would appreciate additional review of that publication.
