Re: Counterproposal for service references

Umit,

Thanks for posting your proposal.

I'd like to focus on the part of your proposal that deals with specifying 
binding information for a reference at the <binding> level of the service. 
My understanding is that you 

P6: keep <wsdl:reference>

P5: make @wsdl:binding a global attribute and use that in <wsdl:reference>

This removes my main objection. However, the resulting solution now gives 
developers two ways to associate interface information, so it seems 
unnecessarily complex. I don't understand the objection to doing it all 
with <wsdl:reference>.
