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

Amy,

Allowing extension would not fuzz up the component model since there are 
no components for <include> or <import>. The extension elements could 
therefore not be child components. They could be used for other purposes. 
e.g we allow child <documentation> elements. Maybe someone will find 
another use for child elements.

I also can't think of any convincing purpose for the extension elements, 
but the general design point of WSDL 2.0 is to allow extension virtually 
everywhere.

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







I have an opinion.  FWIW.  :-)

import and include should *not* permit extensibility elements.  It
fuzzes up the component model, and serves no purpose that I can think
of.

Jonathan, I think this is CR1 (even before CR!).

Amy!
