Sounds interesting.

Actually thinking about it, you can't just XInclude another WSDL infoset
verbatim, 'cause the resulting Infoset wouldn't match the WSDL schema.
In theory you could XInclude all the [children] of wsdl:definitions. But
in practice, in the face of wsdl:import and wsdl:types you'd have the
same problem. So I think something along the lines of xsd:include is the
way to go, it's a component level include rather than an infoset level
include.
