Re: Issue: should inout parameters be of the same type?

I should add: the doc also contains the following issue:

<issue id="issue-remove-parameter-order">
  <head>Should we remove parameter order?</head>
  While parameter order is specified at a portType level, in
  the SOAP case, whether the binding is an RPC binding or 
  not is not specified until later. Thus, the information is
  misplaced at best.

</issue>

I think we should eliminate the whole parameter order thing.
One does not need that to develop a proxy/stub for a service.
The generated programming model is a function of the language
binding of WSDL (such as what JSR 101, JAX-RPC, does for
Java - http://www.jcp.org/jsr/detail/101.jsp)

(That uses parameter order because its in the spec, of course.)
