+1 I don't think I said anything different from this - IMO constructing an XML-based binding for something like ASN.1 is practically difficult, and even if it were possible to do this without relying on WSDL, such a binding would be out of scope for this WG. I think there is still some support for preserving this as a possibility, but I don't personally favor that view. Even exotic message formats can in principle be transformed to XML - and doing so is easier IMO than trying to deal with them somehow in their original form. How tightly tied WSDL is to the choreography definition can still be discussed, e.g. whether it is directly embedded or indirectly referenced, and if the latter, how much and what kind of indirection is desirable. --Jon Jim Webber wrote: > Jon, Tony, > > Furthermore given the name (and charter?) of this group I would suggest that > tying its work to Web services (and perhaps the work of the WSAG) would be > the most sensible thing to do.
