Web Services should not be explicitly limited to WSDL >>interface, IMHO. I am not quite sure who authored this snippet .. but in any case: this was discussed on this list at some length earlier. I don't want to prematurely close the issue if it is indeed still open. I am aware that WSA is still groping towards a workable definition of "Web service", and at least some definitions encompass services w/o WSDL descriptions. However, IMHO constraining choreography to involve services having WSDL descriptions is not a severe constraint. Choreography is envisioned -- however vaguely -- as another level in the WS stack, building on existing levels. WSDL exists in that stack as the language for service-level metadata. And IMO we likely need such metadata to build a workable expression of choreography. --Jon
