For the record, the WG agreed [1] to change the names as you propose.
We will assume you agree that we have addressed the issue appropriately
unless we hear from you before Oct 13th.

Subject: Rename <definitions> to <description>

 


Since WSDL is the Web Services Description Language, it is natural to
make its root element <description>.  A WSDL document describes a Web
service. The document is therefore a description. 

This change would make our names more consistent with XSD, i.e it is XML
Schema language its root element is <schema>. 

The Definitions component should be called the Description component.
