RE: extensions [was: updated part1 docs (editor's drafts)]

Sanjiva,

To conform to our extensibility requirement I'd like to propose this (my changes are in red):

This may allow one to provide WSDL extension in a very flexible manner without breaking WSDL schema compliance.

<wsdl:definitions name="nmtoken"? targetNamespace="uri"?>

    <import namespace="uri" location="uri"/>*

    <wsdl:documentation .... /> ?

    <wsdl:types> ?
        <wsdl:documentation .... />?
        <xsd:schema .... />*
        <-- extensibility element --> *
    </wsdl:types>

    <wsdl:message name="nmtoken"> *
        <wsdl:documentation .... />?
        <part name="nmtoken" element="qname"? type="qname"?> *
           <-- extensibility element --> *
        </part>
        <-- extensibility element --> *
    </wsdl:message>

    <wsdl:portType name="nmtoken">*
        <wsdl:documentation .... />?
        <wsdl:operation name="nmtoken">*
           <wsdl:documentation .... /> ?
           <wsdl:input name="nmtoken"? message="qname">?
               <-- extensibility element --> *
               <wsdl:documentation .... /> ?
           </wsdl:input>
           <wsdl:output name="nmtoken"? message="qname">?
               <-- extensibility element --> *
               <wsdl:documentation .... /> ?
           </wsdl:output>
           <wsdl:fault name="nmtoken" message="qname"> *
               <-- extensibility element --> *
               <wsdl:documentation .... /> ?
           </wsdl:fault>
           <-- extensibility element --> *
        </wsdl:operation>
        <-- extensibility element --> *
    </wsdl:portType>

    <wsdl:binding name="nmtoken" type="qname">*
        <wsdl:documentation .... />?
        <-- extensibility element --> *
        <wsdl:operation name="nmtoken">*           
           <wsdl:documentation .... /> ?
           <-- extensibility element --> *
           <wsdl:input> ?
               <wsdl:documentation .... /> ?
               <-- extensibility element -->
           </wsdl:input>
           <wsdl:output> ?
               <wsdl:documentation .... /> ?
               <-- extensibility element --> *
           </wsdl:output>
           <wsdl:fault name="nmtoken"> *
               <wsdl:documentation .... /> ?
               <-- extensibility element --> *
           </wsdl:fault>
        </wsdl:operation>
    </wsdl:binding>

    <wsdl:service name="nmtoken"> *
        <wsdl:documentation .... />?
        <wsdl:port name="nmtoken" binding="qname"> *
           <wsdl:documentation .... /> ?
           <-- extensibility element -->
        </wsdl:port>
        <-- extensibility element -->
    </wsdl:service>

    <-- extensibility element --> *

</wsdl:definitions>

Attached are the latest editors' draft of the part1 spec. I have also included the slightly modified stylesheet I used to get
the issues color coded.
