Has this been decided already? The charter says, "The Semantic
Annotations for WSDL Working Group is chartered to define one or more
properties of WSDL 2.0 components to point to additional semantics to
concepts represented by those components, e.g. interface, operation,
endpoint."

Nothing in the charter restricts this additional semantics being
embedded in the WSDL document itself. Indeed if it is, the likelihood is
that tools will simply ignore the additional semantic components.
