From the Data Access WG -- please review draft of SPARQL protocol in WSDL 1.1

Hello Jonathan,

The Data Access Working Group has published a working draft, "SPARQL 
Protocol for RDF Using WSDL 1.1" at:

http://www.w3.org/TR/sprot11/

>From the draft's abstract:

"""
The RDF Data Access Working Group normatively defines the SPARQL Protocol 
for RDF via a Web Services Description Language version 2.0 (WSDL 2.0) 
definition. This document presents a non-normative WSDL 1.1 document 
defining the same protocol.
"""

The target status of this document is a Working Group Note, but until then 
we are soliciting comments and feedback on the document from experts and 
the community. In that vein, we would very much appreciate it if the Web 
Services Description Working Group is able to review the Working Draft and 
the associated WSDL 1.1 document ( 
http://www.w3.org/TR/sprot11/sparql-protocol-query-11.wsdl ). In 
particular, we would like to ensure that we do not have any egregious 
misuse of WSDL 1.1, and we are also interested in assuring that the SOAP 
HTTP requests conforming to this WSDL 1.1 description match those produced 
from the SOAP-over-HTTP bindings in the normative WSDL 2 definitions ( 
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/proto-wd/sparql-protocol-query.wsdl 
).

Note fyi that the Working Draft links to a community-writeable wiki topic 
which contains some of our early experiences in using the WSDL 1.1 
document with existing tooling. 

many thanks for any help you can provide,
Lee
