Re: Reference requirements

 Nirmal, Paul,
 right now we have untyped remote references, that's correct.
 We agree that typed remote references would be even more useful 
and we are working on that. I still don't think this 
functionality should be integrated into WSDL in any version 
thereof.
 Best regards,
