Re: Can one inline schema import definitions from a second inline schema?

Obviously I didn't understand it then and I don't understand it now.
Why do we say that imported components are not available to WSDL? In
general, why do we go saying things about other people's specs??

Also, isn't the replacement really
    <xs:schema><xs:include .../></xs:schema>
?? But then what do I know about schema.
