Title: RE: ASAP and WS-CDL

It is all at the ASAP site on OASIS:

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=asap

the public documents scetion has all of the specifications, XSD files, WSDL files, etc.  Let me know if anything is missing.  I would be happy to review it when you need that.
