What really needs to happen is the availability of tools that auto-generate the XML schema, WSDL, and UDDI documents so developers don't have to waste time learning and implementing a technology that does not return benefit relative to amount of effort. These documents are tedious to produce at best and a serious waste of development time at worse. I believe .NET 2003 already does this.

That requires you to learn and understand the nuances of XML Schema, which are somewhat nontrivial. That said, though, I think ultimately it's the best approach to take, in order to maximize the interoperability of your web service, which (if you think about it) is really the whole point in the first place.
