F Part 1 Change Log

F.1 WSDL Specification Changes

8.1 Document Conformance

Document Conformance

An element information item whose namespace name is http://www.w3.org/2004/08/wsdl and whose local part is definitions conforms to this specification if it conforms to the XML Schema for that element as defined by this specification family and additionally adheres to all the constraints contained in this specification.

Note that the WSDL language is defined in terms of the component model defined by this specification. As such, it is explicitly NOT a conformance requirement to be able to process documents encoded in a particular version of XML, in particular XML 1.1 [XML11].
