[Bug 5346] Operation parameter in bindingOperation is of type QName

We have received the following public comment on the WSDL 1.1 Element Identifiers WG Note [2].

Note that the comment actually refers to [1] which is an Editor's CVS version of the spec.  But I believe the comment applies to the published WG Note at [2].

> I'm wondering whether the second parameter ('operation') in operation binding references should be really a QName. Shouldn't it be a NCName?
> The examples are also referring to NCName, like http://...#wsdl11.bindingOperation(TicketAgentSoap/listFlights)

Here is my initial reaction:

Table 2-1. "Rules for determining pointer parts for WSDL 1.1 elements" [3] in the WSDL 1.1 Element Identifiers WG Note [2] and the type of the second parameter is based on Table A-1. "Rules for determining pointer parts for WSDL 2.0 components" from WSDL 2.0 [4].

In particular the WSDL 2.0 table [4] defines the operation parameter for the binding references (e.g Binding Fault, Binding Operation, Binding Message Reference, and Binding Fault Reference) as QName.  Since our table is based on the WSDL 2.0 table, I believe that we defined the second parameter's type as QNAME to match what was done in the WSDL 2.0 table [4].

If the commenter is correct then I believe this matter needs to be first taken up as a comment on the WSDL 2.0 specification.

Comments.

I'm wondering whether the second parameter ('operation') in operation binding
references should be really a QName. Shouldn't it be a NCName?

The examples are also referring to NCName, like
http://...#wsdl11.bindingOperation(TicketAgentSoap/listFlights)
