Re: WSDL and targetNamespace coercion ??

Looks like I misinterpreted what was proposed. I agree that targetNamespace of
the imported WSDL and the namespace AII on the import EII must match.. Sorry
about going on a tangent there :)

This seems to be an undesirable restriction to me. One should be able to
organize different entities in the namespace domain as appropriate and
import them into higher level WSDL as needed.

E.g. Section "2.1.2 Authoring Style" of  http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl shows a
way for one to accomplish that. I think this would be useful when people
want to share the same set of definitions with related Web services or Web
services that offer more comprehensive functionality than an existing one
etc. E.g. a Buyer and a Seller service both may need to deal with Purchase
order and may want to share the type definition of the PO. Same PO schema
might be used with different types of Web services etc..

Thank you.

"The actual value of the targetNamespace AII of the imported WSDL MUST
match the actual value of the namespace AII on the import EII"

This is sufficient.

I believe it is the intention of the WSDWG that WSDL import work the
same way as XML Schema import. So targetNamespace coercion is not
allowed. I propose we add text to the spec along the lines of;

The actual value of the targetNamespace AII of the imported WSDL MUST
match the actual value of the namespace AII on the import EII.

Given answer to Q1, not relevant.

Hope this helps
