SOAP 1.2 allows asynchronous modes of operations. As a matter of fact,
the requirements document contains tmo use cases of asynchronous
messaging: S17[1] and S20[2].

WSDL 1.2 does have an explicit requirement (R097[3]) to allow
description of asynchronous message exchange patterns.

I would add the asynchrony is shown in several examples in the Web
Services Architecture Usage Scenarios[4].
