What I meant specifically was that the ability to dynamically 
discover services and interfaces (via UDDI and WSDL) isn't available 
in many communication systems... so we can't assume that a revised 
schema would propagate immediately and automatically throughout the 
user base.

And more generally, that we need constantly to be on guard against 
letting assumptions about the transport layer color our document 
designs.

Sorry if I confused anyone.
