Re: updated editor's copy of WSDL 1.2 spec

Obviously I'm not seeing something .. I did look at the schema
spec and what I wrote is similar in spirit (or so I thought).
I'd like to understand why that's not acceptable as a start for
a first working draft .. we're always free to replace anything
in a draft with something better (or worse!).

Again, if you can provide a sample for what your writeup
would be for one of the definition components that would
really help for me to understand what you have in mind
and how what's there now relates (or does not, as the case
may be).

I agree I can go back to the "old" version of part1 and update
it. I personally felt that the "new" version was much clearer
and much more precise. I would really rather go with that than
go back to the old version which was quite sloppy at best.

How do others feel??
