RE: WSDL conformance & XML Schema conformance

The Working Group agreed to resolve this issue [1] by:

- Removing text regarding schema validity from section 1.2 and add text
to describe schema is for the conformance of XML 1.0 serialisation and
the intent is it may be applied to other future serialisations such as
XML 1.1

- Making it clear that the mapping to XML is 1.0 specific.

We will assume you agree that we have addressed this issue appropriately
unless we hear from you before Oct 13th.
