Re: WSDL 1.1 to WSDL 2.0 mapping

I think that the problem may be that WSDL 2.0 is neither a subset nor a
superset of WSDL 1.1; they're overlapping, but contain disjoint subsets.

I think that this would be a good and interesting project, for folks who
want to volunteer to make it happen.  But ... I'm not volunteering ....
