With regards the definition of operation:
If an operation associates an input message with...
does this imply that we are not supporting the notification operation style
described in WSDL 1.1?

Some minor edits:
Message
Application specific data to be communicated as a single logical
transmission.
Operation
A set of messages that correlate to a single action. An operation
associates an input message with zero or more output and error messages.
OperationSet (a/k/a "Port Type")
A logical grouping of operations.
Binding
An association between an OperationSet and the specific wire format,
application protocol, and transport protocol to be used to transmit the
messages. <Keith>I don't like this wording much. This is a difficult
concept, and seems to be really about three separate but related ideas.
</Keith>
Port
An association between a binding and a network address that may be used to
communicate with the Service. <Keith>This feels uneeded as a normative
definition. </Keith>
Service
A logical grouping of bindings.

OperationSet (a/k/a "Port Type")
A logical grouping of operations supported by the Service.
Binding
An association between an OperationSet, a concrete protocol
and a data
format that specifies the protocol and data format that may be
