wsdldg.xsl converts our WSDL 2.0 to WSDL 1.1; hunt for WSDL tools continues

I'm still trying to get the machine to do something useful with
our WSDL protocol description.

http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/proto-wd/sparql-protocol-query.wsdl

Since there's a lack of WSDL 2.0 tools, I cobbled together a piece
of XSLT to convert it to WSDL 1.1. It's very rough, but it
produces results that look like things I see in WSDL 1.1 specs
and tutorials:

~/w3ccvs/WWW/2001/sw/DataAccess/proto-wd$ make
xsltproc --novalid -o sparql-protocol-query.wsd1 wsdldg.xsl
sparql-protocol-query.wsdl
ignoring pattern http://www.w3.org/2004/08/wsdl/in-out

      on operation query
ignoring messageLabel In
      on operation query
ignoring messageLabel Out
      on operation query
@@not matched: fault in description
@@looking for op query on interface SparqlQuery.

Attached find the output, sparql-protocol-query.wsd1 .
I don't think I'll check it in until I find a way to make
use of it.

So then I tried a wsdl2py tool, but it seems to only work
on SOAP bindings:

~/w3ccvs/WWW/2001/sw/DataAccess/proto-wd$ PYTHONPATH=~/src/ZSI-1.7/
python ~/src/ZSI-1.7/scripts/wsdl2py.py -f *.wsd1

I found a discussion of GET support in ASP.NET...
  http://www.vijaymukhi.com/documents/books/xmlsoap/chap11.htm
which the mono project claims to support thoroughly.
 http://www.go-mono.com/asp-net.html

I'm making slow progress; I've never used mono before. Wish me
luck.
