I doubt that we can mandate BPEL to be
used with BP 1.0 compliant services only especially given the answer to 1
assuming it is correct, and given that there are many services today that are
not compliant (e.g., RPC encoded ones).

I see a few separate
issues/questions connected to the relationship of BP 1.0 and BPEL.
1- Would BP 1.0 be restricting
BPEL to the point that some of BPEL's functionality would not be available?
I cannot think of any such
restriction off the top of my head.
2- Would the fact that BP 1.0 only
addresses the SOAP/HTTP binding imply that also BPEL should be limited to that
type of binding?
I don't think that anybody would
imply that.
3- Should a BPEL process be offered
as a Web service that is BP 1.0 compliant?
3- Would it be fair to limit BPEL
use to interacting with BP 1.0 compliant Web services only?
My personal answer would be yes. But
I am a member of WS-I, and I understand other people might have different
answers.

For the benefit of the non-expert could
post a salient example please? Specifically, a BPEL usage pattern that
would not work if BP 1.0 is followed but would work if any WSDL 1.1 portType is
allowed. In other words, is BP 1.0 a restriction on the WSDL artifacts we
use or potentially on BPEL itself?

The sections 5.5 and 5.6
in the basic profile (http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/Basic/2003-08/BasicProfile-1.0a.htm)
are devoted to binding aspects but, several major sections including section 4,
other sections of 5 address abstract aspects of WSDL, which is a pretty large
portion. All those are applicable BPEL IMO.

Most of the BP 1.0 directives are binding
related. BP also forbids outbound operations which BPEL does not use.
Can someone identify a directive in BP 1.0 that actually affects BPEL?
