I hoping to get a GSoC student to do the WS-MEX stuff, but didn't. :-(
I'd definitely like to see WS-MEX support. With 2.4, some of it is definitely easier. The WSDL retrieval is already done as an interceptor on the endpoint chain. Thus, we already have some stuff setup to handle these types of interactions as part of the chain. It's just something we'd need to prioritize and likely try and find resources to implement.
