I would prefer that the text pertaining to synchronous interactions is
removed from the spec rather than adding in synchronous operations in
WSDL. The asynchronous aspect was a deliberate design decision to
improve failure situations (i.e. a service can fail and recover without
necessarily impacting any other services).
