Re: Import/Include - a proposal

This is why I made the proposal to use XInclude.

If you have any suggestions as to how this should/would/ought to work 
with WS-CDL I for one would be most grateful to hear them. That way we 
can avoid this problem of duplication of effort. I guess what is needed 
is a clear understanding of what WS-CDL needs to do to reuse WS-CDL so 
that we can understand how much work is required to edit the 
specification to incorporate it. Any ideas?

Cheers
