Issue: should WSDL allow overloaded methods?

Issue: WSDL 1.1 is not clear about whether overloaded methods
should be allowed or not. Therefore, more than one <operation>
can have the same name in a <portType>, and each with different
message parts. Do we want overloaded methods in WSDL?
We should make a clear statement on this in WSDL 1.2.

Proposal: clearly disallow methods overloading in WSDL 1.2.
Methods overloading should exist in the concrete implementation
of the service, but not in the service description.

(Please add this issue to the issues list.)
