targetNamespace required?

In WSDL 2.0, targetNamespace is required.  It's not required in WSDL
1.1.  The WS-I Basic Profile is considering making it required for
better forward compatibility with WSDL 2.0, and because we weren't aware
of any real-world usage of WSDL 1.1 without a targetNamespace.

 

I can't recall at this point discussions we may have had when making
targetNamespace required.  Is there any argument or usecases the WS-I BP
should evaluate in considering requiring targetNamespace?
