I agree 100%.

I was one of the co-authors of WSFL. In some follow-on work (which
will hopefully be wrapped up and published soon) we have moved away
from using solicit-response and output-only operations to using
directional portTypes as Roberto suggests. Our experience was that
it was much cleaner that way.
