Re: Schemas in imported WSDL

True enough.  The current Axis WSDL processor certainly does import all schemas
inside the <types> of an imported WSDL into the processing context so they are
available if they get imported, and I doubt we would do otherwise for WSDL 2.0.
Although you are certainly correct that there can be no "guarantee" in a strict
sense, there was still some question as to whether this case would be mentioned
at all in the spec.
