FW: Do <import> and <include> support extensibility elements?

Thanks for your comment.  The WS Description Working Group tracked this
issue as a CR002 [1].  The Working Group agreed to allow extensions on
import and include elements, although warning users that such extensions
do not appear in the component model (see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2006Jan/0046.html).
These changes are reflected in the latest version of the spec [2] and
schema [3].

 

Unless you let us know otherwise by 13 April, we will assume you agree
with the resolution of this issue.

Subject: Do <import> and <include> support extensibility elements?

 


I'd like to clarify which WSDL elements support extensibility elements. 

Part 1, section 6.1 Element based Extensibility states:
WSDL 2.0 allows namespace-qualified element information items whose
[namespace name] is NOT "http://www.w3.org/@@@@/@@/wsdl" to appear among
the [children] of specific element information items whose [namespace
name] is "http://www.w3.org/@@@@/@@/wsdl".

The word 'specific' suggests some WSDL elements do not support
extensibility elements. This is backed up by the WSDL 2.0 schema at
http://www.w3.org/2005/08/wsdl/wsdl20.xsd which indicates that all WSDL
2.0 elements except <import> and <include> support extensibility
elements.

However, in Part 1 all of the sections that describe the xml
representation for each WSDL element state that the [children] of the
WSDL element may contain:
Zero or more namespace-qualified element information items whose
[namespace name] is NOT "http://www.w3.org/@@@@/@@/wsdl"

i.e. this text applies to <include> and <import> too, in sections 4.1
and 4.2, which seems to contradict the schema.

Is this correct? Can <include> and <import> have extensibility elements?

Thanks,
John Kaputin.
