RE: Issue 32: SOAP 1.1 support

I agree that we need to be sympathitic to the cause of the larger 
community of SOAP 1.1 based implementations that are likely to continue 
to exist for a while into the foreseeable future. We would also like to 
see this addressed one way or other either in terms of normative part of 
the WSDL 2.0 spec or as a non-normative note that clearly shows how to 
describe SOAP 1.1 based Web services in WSDL 2.0. We would however also 
like to get clarity on the IP issues raised.

Regards, Prasad

I believe David makes a forceful and compelling argument in favor of
supporting a SOAP 1.1 binding.

+1 to including it as a normative part of WSDL 2.0.

BEA can certainly add this to our charter review.

However, we wanted to bring it up to the group for discussion.  We apologize
for the lateness of this comment, but it's taken us a while to get to
internal consensus on this.  It would be interesting to hear if members of
the WG agree or disagree, and I've already heard 1 agreement.

It seems to us that S11 is arguably in the current charter.  Words like
"which is the scope of the WSDL 1.1 specification.".  I can understand
calling out S12 as it is done in the charter, because S12 isn't in WS11
scope.

Comments inline.

And I'm also concerned about deliverables and schedule, and particularly
concerned that the WG may produce a product that does not get as widespread
adoption as we hope.

That's an interesting idea, wholely re-using the WSDL 1.1 markup.  I'm
interested in others opinions on this solution.
