My idea of a next-to-perfect way of developing web services is that a compiler of a statically typed language imports a schema (=contract), uses it to typecheck a program, and then as an extra generates the WSDL from descriptors. The schema would not change (and the thread seems to explore use cases where schemas can change). But then, such a compiler could also import the schema from the WSDL. regards, Burak Emir http://lamp.epfl.ch/~buraq
