RE: Revised extensibility proposal

Maybe I've misunderstood Roberto's proposal, but I think there is at
least one difference in behavior.  In Roberto's proposal, use of an
attribute or element in a non-wsdl namespace, but not declared as an
extension, results in an error (or "WSDL-not-understood" behavior of
some kind).  In mine, it may safely be ignored.

There are syntactic differences too.  My proposal doesn't have the
wsdl:required attribute, or the required attribute on <wsdl:extension>.
