2.      The inclusion of identifiers for element declarations and type
definitions (which are not WSDL 1.1 elements) seems inappropriate in this spec.
 The presence of schema imports and includes makes associating type definitions
with a particular WSDL document, and thus with a particular targetNamespace,
problematic.  These identifiers don’t seem to be required by WS-Policy
Attachment.  We recommend removing them.  If these identifiers remain, a number
of issues related to them should be addressed, including:
a.      How imports and includes affect them.  Are only in-lined schema
elements considered?  Only elements in a schema targetNamespace that is the
same as the WSDL targetNamespace?  If not, which ones?
b.      Clarification in the prose of the spec that WSDL element identifiers
identify elements both in the WSDL and Schema namespaces.
c.      Correction of the “types” vs. “type definitions” issue,
described at [1].
