You are right. Since we subject an operation to a specific binding, we are limiting the operation to a single transport mechanism in WSDL 2.0. 

In WS-MD, the callback "pattern" was invented out of two in-out or two input operations just to enable this capability to preserve the logical relationship between two message exchanges which may involve different bindings.
