I think there are three possible good objections:

* WSDL does not allow other schema languages (wrong)

Can you show me an example of this using WSDL 1.1 that
I can run a code generator on (like WSDL2Java)?

* WSDL implementations require WSDL tools (wrong)

Your contention is that WSDL can just be used as a specification.
I do not believe this is its current common use or even the desired
use of it.

* WSDL requires a type system and RELAX NG is not useable a type system (wrong).

I think this depends more on the style of the Web Service (Document or
RPC based). I am in favor of document-based web services so your point
is valid.
