Keep in mind that the WS-I BP put constraints on SOAP and WSDL -- it disallows features that are explicitly supported by the specifications. Most toolkits support all features defined in the specifications, so I don't think we'll ever get to the point where you can't build a service that doesn't comply with the WS-I BP.
Some toolkits (e.g., Sun's JWSDP) provide a switch that you can set to say that you want to generate a WS-I compliant service, but I wouldn't trust it yet. To ensure compliance, you must test each service. Also , you should understand that WS-I BP compliance applies to services -- not to products or toolkits. There is no way to test to see if a toolkit complies with the WS-I BP. All you can do is test to see whether a toolkit can generate or process WS-I compliant services.
