I am sure we'll find a niche for WSDL sooner or later. Just hold on a
bit longer. It seems every WS-* advocate for SOA has a different story
about what SOA is, why WSDL is great, etc.

Again, I was walling off legacy systems using earlier technology very
well when WSDL was not even a glimmer in some grad students eyes. So I
see no reason to invest in it for that reason either.
