15:20 Properties and Features
    - Amy's summary [6], and suggested agenda
    1. Scope
      a. Should WSDL support only description of SOAP features and 
         properties, or features and properties more generally?
      b. If only SOAP features and properties, should the namespace be 
         the WSDL SOAP namespace, or the WSDL namespace?
      c. If features and properties generally, should WSDL propose a 
         universal syntax, or let each feature definition mandate its
own?
    2. Concrete Binding
      a. Should the current <binding> tree be separated into
         <messageBinding> and <protocolBinding> trees?
      b. Should the concrete binding syntax live in <binding>,
         <messageBinding>, <protocolBinding>, or <service>?
      c. Where, exactly, in the preferred subtree may the new 
         syntactic elements appear?
      d. What are the new syntactic elements?
    3. Abstract Binding
      a. Should it be possible to specify required features and/or
         properties in the <portType> tree?
      b. If so, where in the tree may these requirements appear? 
         (portType, operation, individual messages)
      c. If so, should consistency checks be performed to ensure that 
         a binding that claims to implement a portType contains 
         concrete bindings for required features/properties?
      d. What are the new syntactic elements?

      Requirements for the SOAP Attachments Feature by the XMLP WG).
