RE: WSDL1.1 bindings for SOAP over FTP!

Hi Jean-Jacques

thanks for the reply.

Can i use "some extensibility elements" (other than being used by SOAP bindings for WSDL), for 
defining new bindings for SOAP with other protocols (say FTP). 

If yes, i need to get them standardized. Am i right?

thanks,
regards,
Naresh Agarwal
