RE: updated editor's copy of WSDL 1.2 spec

I think some parts of your abstract components are not abstract enough.
For instance, is "documentation" really an property of an abstract
component?  Or a helpful artifact of serialization of that component?
What about extension properties?

It was not the intention that we would do any significant work on
abstract components before the first publication.  I'm OK with what
you've written as a an indication of where we plan to go, but I hope
it's not so controversial that it delays our publication schedule.
