You left off a key part of my sentence .. I was *very* careful to say:
"You either need WSDL [...] or something like it."
I didn't say WSDL was the silver bullet (as one of its original creators
and being part of WSDL 2.0 I *know* its far from that). What I said is
that the information in WSDL is a necessary condition, not a necessary
and sufficient condition.
