I think you miss the point. SOAP is not fit for purpose as it does not
include reliability and security. What we really need to do is extend
SOAP/WSDL to include security, reliability, end-to-end acks, etc, but in the
declarative, take-it-or-leave-it style of WSDL **as well as** the negotiated
way consisting of the merging of templates that I think you are suggesting.
Remember, I really am not anti-CPA, I just want them to be used in the right
way i.e. to record the agreement between two parties where they want to
constrain how they do business together.
