RE: simple case of IRIs for Components in WSDL 2.0

Dan,

There are two cases we need to consider when forming URI references.

1. The URI deferences to a WSDL document whose media type is 
application/wsdl+xml
2. The URI is a WSDL namespace and we are forming identifiers for 
components.

I'm not an XPointer lawyer, but in case 1 I don't see how we can change 
the meaning of the bare names. Doesn't that violate the XPointer spec? Is 
application/wsdl+xml allowed to redefine the meaning of XPointer for 
application/xml?

In case 2 we have more leeway because the URI reference is being used as a 
component identifier and the namespace is not being referenced. In this 
case would could define bare names to mean whatever we want. So we could 
define a bare name to identify the WSDL component with that local name, 
assuming it was unique.

No, I'm asking for a URI for the interface, not for an XML
element.

In my original message, I wrote:

I suppose I could have been more clear; I don't mean some
indirect reference mechanism; I mean: to identifiy
that interface, directly.

I'm asking that the barename #xyz in wsdl isn't short for
the element with id xyz, but rather then component named xyz,
provided there's exactly one such component.
