Not sure I follow, Paul. First, the EPR already allows WSDL information to optionally appear -- it's been in the specification all along. Second, nobody is forcing you use WSDL information in your EPRs -- the metadata section, and all the WSDL that can appear within it, are optional.

The [selected interface] property is already a part of the spec. If you choose to use it together with a WSDL 2.0 [service] property in an EPR, and noting that a WSDL 2.0 service element can hold only a single interface name, then how could it make any sense whatsoever for the two interface names not to match?
