Yes, we know that a <game-over-response /> would solve our problem but
that was not the point. Why should WSDL restrict the way we define our
message formats and message exchanges? (Please see me response to Glen's
message).

Hmmm... I see your point but following the same approach, shouldn't we
be describing everything in WSDL (security requirements, policies,
etc.)? But we have other mechanisms to describe those things. I think
the same should be with the service logic-specific correlation of
messages. Yes, correlation of messages at the "interface" level is good
hint but why make it so restrictive?
