Not exactly. "http" is a super scheme, though (and the only one, currently). The purpose of "wsep" was basically just an aid to get folks thinking about the role that the URI scheme plays in identification, and how that relates to service interfaces and using the service. If the opportunity presented, I would have proposed that a new URI scheme be used for each WSDL document, so that you could, for example, say; stock-quote-service://example.org/quotes And then associate (via public registration) the "stockquote" URI scheme with the SOAP protocol and some WSDL. This would enable any client programmed to know about SOAP + stock-quote WSDL document + URI scheme, to use any so-identified stock quote service without any additional information (i.e. enable late binding). Thanks for hearing me out. I wasn't expecting it to get any support. I propose funny things like this to try to disturb established mental models of distributed computing that prevent so many from seeing how Internet scale systems are designed, and why the Web is so special amoungst Internet scale systems.
