Yah, sorry about bringing that up. It's just a term I use in my own
head, and was not intended for public consumption. 8-)
Let's just go with "base interface", i.e.
interface WebService
{
// some common methods go here
}
so that people can logically do;
interface MyWebService extends WebService
{
// methods specific to MyWebService go here
}

I've mentioned WSDL-over-GET before here, so yes, I believe it's quite
important. I also expect a GET-like method to be part of this base
interface. But I think we can go further with this interface than just
grabbing some WSDL.
