Re: Editorial comments on Part 3

As per my action item, here is a clarification about the readability
problem I reported:

I have reread my comment and the spec, and indeed, I meant to write
that section 2 *harder* to read then section 3.

In details, section 3 looks like:

   3. WSDL HTTP Binding
       3.1 HTTP Syntax Summary (Non-Normative)
       3.2 Indicating an HTTP Binding
           3.2.1 Relationship to WSDL Component Model
           3.2.2 HTTP Binding Component
           3.2.3 XML Representation of HTTP Binding Component
           3.2.4 Mapping Between HTTP Binding's XML Representation to
   Component Properties
       3.3 Default Binding Rules

whereas section 2 starts off with defining default values for
properties that haven't been defined yet:

   2. WSDL SOAP Binding
       2.1 Identifying a SOAP Binding
       2.2 Default Binding Rules

Maybe section 2.8 XML Syntax Summary should appear earlier.

As I mentioned, this is a personal feeling about the spec, is up to
the editors of section 2 to resolve, and is not required to be fixed
to go to Last Call.

Hugo
