Heather, Chris, I have some comments on your recent addition to the Architecture document. Jean-Jacques. ================ "(WSDL) is the de facto standard for XML based service description" I find it somewhat troublesome that a W3C WG (WSA) caracterizes what is now the work of another W3C WG (WSD) as "de facto standard". I know this is meant for WSDL 1.1, but I think we should also cater for WSDL 1.2. "WSDL has been submitted to the W3C for standardization" It's not just been submitted, it is being actively worked on! Suggestion: add: "and is being worked on by the W3C Web Service Description WG." "however, the only currently described bindings are for SOAP 1.1, HTTP POST, and MIME." Suggestion: change to: "WSDL 1.1 describes the following bindings: SOAP 1.1, HTTP POST and MIME. WSDL 1.2 will also describe a SOAP 1.2 binding." "Think of an operation like a method signature in a programming language." The analogy is an over simplification and, IMO, leads the reader to think just in terms of RPCs instead of document-centric services. "WSDL:message element is used to define the input and output parameters of an operation." Again, this is an RPC only description, IMO.
