Re: Republishing SOAP 1.1 schemas

I believe the XML Protocol WG can provide a SOAP 1.1 schema with the
appropriate W3C copyright notice.
Please contact me directly,

I'd like to republish the SOAP 1.1 schemas from
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/ and possibly
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/ in an appendix of my next
book, Processing XML with Java. Currently these ar elisted as Copyright
2001 Martin Gudgin, whoever he is. They do not carry any language which
indicates that such reuse is acceptable Thus as currently written they
can't be reused, unless I can find this person and convince him to sign
a permissions form, which so far has been a fruitless search.

The SOAP 1.1 schemas appear to be derived from the SOAP 1.2 schemas
which are published under the W3C license which is sufficiently liberal
to allow me to republish them in my appendix. However, is there any
chance of getting the officiall SOAP 1.1 schemas under the normal W3C
copyright so they can be republished without having to jump through a
lot of hoops?

Alterantely, I could just derive my own SOAP 1.1 schemas from the 1.2
schemas (which I in fact already did for the first draft) but I'd much
rather use the official schemas instead.
