Hi Chris:
As a co-author on WS-I BP 1.1, could
you provide some insight into R2002?

The discussion in this area revolves around how to interpret the following
statement from WS-I BP: 

R2002 To import XML Schema Definitions, a DESCRIPTION MUST use the XML
Schema "import" statement. 

If the first "import" is interpreted to mean "reference
external", then this statement requires the use of import rather than
include. 

If the first "import" is interpreted to mean the definition provided
by XML Schema for the import statement, then it doesn't have that meaning
but also becomes a meaningless statement.

I believe that the statement about WS-I was made at the October face-to-face
although my memory is notoriously faulty. I searched through email and
meeting minutes and did not find discussion of this point.
  
Unless someone can point out the requirement in WS-I BP, I suggest we remove
that statement from the issue.

Subject: [wsrf] [WSRF Issue 81] clarification


The current issues list contains an entry for WSRF 81 that includes:

Issue WSRF81: Recommendation to change WSDL documents

Some tooling does not correctly handle xsd:include.

WS-I compliance requires that xsd:include not be used.

Specifications

·        All WSDL documents

Notes

http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/wsrf/200410/msg00113.html

http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/wsrf/200410/msg00120.html

Proposed Recommendations

Change all WSDL documents so that xsd:include is not used. This can be accomplished by changing the namespace of the schema in the WSDL types section and using xsd:import instead.

Status: Open since November 15, 2004

Contact: Glenn Wassen, Abdeslem Djaoui

Cross Reference:

Now, the notion "WS-I compliance requires that xsd:include not be used." is puzzling.  I cannot see reference in WS-I BP 1.1 that forbids use of xsd:include, please clarify.
