Issues 223 [1] and 224 [2] have to do with the definition of the
component model. I propose the following changes:
* Change the introduction text from Section 2 of part one from:
"""This section describes the conceptual model for WSDL as a set of
components with properties, each aspect of a Web service that WSDL can
describe having its own property. In addition an XML Infoset
representation for these components is provided, along with a mapping
from that representation to the various component properties. How the
XML Infoset representation of a given set of WSDL components is
constructed is outside the scope of this specification."""
to:
"""This section describes the conceptual model of WSDL as a set of
components with attached properties, which collectively describe a Web
service. Each subsection herein describes a different type of
component, its defined properties, and its representation as an XML
Infoset.
Components are named collections of properties that correspond to
different aspects of Web services. Properties are unordered and unique
with respect to the component they are associated with. Individual
properties' definitions may constrain their content (e.g., to a typed
value, another component, or a set of typed values or components), and
components may require the presence of a property to be considered
conformant.
In addition to the direct XML Infoset representation described here,
the component model allows components external to the Infoset through
the mechanisms described in section 4.
A component model can be extracted from a given XML Infoset which
conforms to the WSDL XML Schema [ref] by recursively mapping
Information Items to their identified components, starting with the
wsdl:description element information item. This includes the
application of the mechanisms described in Section 4.
This document does not specify a means of producing an XML Infoset
representation from a given set of WSDL components."""
* Add to Notational Conventions of part one (and others as appropriate):
"""This specification uses curly brackets (e.g., {property}) to
indicate a property in the WSDL component model, as defined in section
2."""
