Conflicts of WSDL schemas

Hi all,

I got the below inqury from a colleague. 

To my knowledge, http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/ is the target namespace
defined by A4.1, and the two should be the same.  

Seems they have fell out of sync. Does anybody know what's going on here?
Which one is the "valid" WSDL1.1 schema?

or Am I missing anything here?

Regards,
Kevin

Up to now I always used the specification I found under
http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl.
In this document there is also an XML-Schema for WSDL, that can be found in
A 4.1.
Now I cam across another XML-Schema for WSDL under
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/.
Unfortuantely, this schema looks very much different.
A closer look shows that both schemas are incompatible.
Indeed, both specifications allow to add self-defined subelements as
child-elements of the root-element <wsdl:definitions>.
However, according to the first schema this has to be placed at the end of
the document (behind elements like <wsdl:message>).
This is shown in the definition of the complexType definitionsType.
This comes also clear from the template shown in 2.1, as there we have the 
<-- extensibility element --> *
at the end of the document.
However, when you analyze the second schema the extensibility elements have
to be placed at the beginning.
Indeed, the complexType tDefinitions is an extension of
tExtensibleDocumented. tExtensibleDocumented declares the extensibility
elements and tDefinitions adds the concrete wsdl-elements. Hence, the
extensibility elements have to come first.
Do you know anything about this?
Can you tell me, which definition is valid?
