Re: Do <import> and <include> support extensibility elements?

John,

You're right. The schema contradicts the spec. I'd don't see a lot of use 
for allowing extensibility elements in the <include> and <import>elements 
since they do not map to WSDL components. However, in the spirit of 
extensibility and consistency, I supposed we should allow it, in which 
case the schema needs to be corrected. Do you have an opinion either way?

Do <import> and <include> support extensibility elements?







I'd like to clarify which WSDL elements support extensibility elements. 

Part 1, section 6.1 Element based Extensibility states:
WSDL 2.0 allows namespace-qualified element information items whose 
[namespace name] is NOT "http://www.w3.org/@@@@/@@/wsdl" to appear among 
the [children] of specific element information items whose [namespace 
name] is "http://www.w3.org/@@@@/@@/wsdl".

The word 'specific' suggests some WSDL elements do not support 
extensibility elements. This is backed up by the WSDL 2.0 schema at 
http://www.w3.org/2005/08/wsdl/wsdl20.xsd which indicates that all WSDL 
2.0 elements except <import> and <include> support extensibility elements.

However, in Part 1 all of the sections that describe the xml 
representation for each WSDL element state that the [children] of the WSDL 
element may contain:
Zero or more namespace-qualified element information items whose 
[namespace name] is NOT "http://www.w3.org/@@@@/@@/wsdl"

i.e. this text applies to <include> and <import> too, in sections 4.1 and 
4.2, which seems to contradict the schema.

Is this correct? Can <include> and <import> have extensibility elements?

Thanks,
John Kaputin.
