The WS-Addressing WG defines a structure representing an EndPoint Reference (EPR). Part of that structure are optional Service and Endpoint QNames. To resolve those QNames to a particular WSDL (when the client does not already have it), a link to the WSDL is useful. The WS-Addressing WG wants to make use of wsdli:wsdlLocation to provide some locations where an appropriate WSDL might be found [1]. The definition of wsdlLocation [2] does not appear to specifically limit it's use to WSDL 2.0 documents - it just says "WSDL documents". This is precisely what WS-A wants - to be able to put WSDL 1.1 locations, WSDL 2.0 locations, or possibly a combination of both 1.1 and 2.0 locations in the single attribute. It's not clear whether this was foreseen and blessed by the WSDL WG though. Would the WG object to WS-Addressing suggesting authors use wsdli:wsdlLocation in this manner? If so would it be helpful to make this explicit in the draft?
