Re: Name AII on input/output EIIs in port type operations

The reason those name attributes were there was to distinguish
between overloaded operations. WSDL 1.1 section 2.5 has (near
the bottom):
"An operation element within a binding specifies binding information for the
operation with the same name within the binding's portType. Since operation
names are not required to be unique (for example, in the case of overloading
of method names), the name attribute in the operation binding element might
not be enough to uniquely identify an operation. In that case, the correct
operation should be identified by providing the name attributes of the
corresponding wsdl:input and wsdl:output elements."

So when operation names are unique (i.e., no overloading) the input/output
names are not needed.

Do you not concur? We can certainly re-open the issue and discuss it more if
you like.
