so a criteria for putting information into the interface is "an abstract 
concept shared across multiple bindings". I think Dave's proposal
satisfies that WRT being shared, but maybe the name "webMethod" is 
too overloaded and not abstract enough for some (Amy)?

i'd agree it would be ugly, but would a change in syntax from 
style="list of URIs" to lax extensibility be "good enough" to keep 
the webMethod down inside the bindings?
