Dear folks, One of my colleagues, our local schema expert, raises the following issue with regard to the introduction of the include mechanism in WSDL. The include part says that it's modeled after XMLSchema and since all <definitions> have a targetNamespace the chameleon case is excluded. The draft doesn't address what happens if the same location is included twice or if there are include cycles. The XMLSchema spec explicitly permits them [1]. My colleague suggests that requiring cycle detection, with the same constraints as Schema, is preferable because then applications (and especially libraries) can treat Schema and WSDL the same way. I suggest that this should be an issue: another resolution would be to make multiple same-location includes, or cyclical includes, an error. But we should be explicit about it. Amy! -- Amelia A.
