I believe that the current proposal for HTTP binding addresses issues
64.

<interface name='Bulb'>
 <operation name='state'>
   <part name='bulbId'/>
 </>
 <operation name='change'>
   <part name='bulbId'/>
   <part name='newState'/>
 </>
</>

<binding name='http'>
 <operation name='state'>
   <http:verb value='GET'/>   
 </>
 <operation name='change'>
   <http:verb value='POST'/>
   Mhttp:operation location='?buldId={bulbId}'/>
 </> 
</>

<service interface='Bulb'>
 <endpoint name='http'>
   <http:address href='http://example.com/bulbs'>
 </>
</>

Remove the operation constructions for this case would force us to
inline the parts inside the HTTP binding, which is against the
reusability of the interface imho. Now I could have named "state" and
"change", "GET" and "POST" directly if I wanted to. Wouldn't change
anything and the URI constructed will still be
http://www.example.com/bulbs?buldId=42

I'd be certainly willing to consider a concrete proposal for the HTTP
binding if the current doesn't address your concern,
