If you want to change the indenting of the WSDL to make it easier to
read, use something like HTML Tidy (http://tidy.sf.net).  It can handle
XML as input and output formats.

If you want something to extract the <annotation><documentation> values
out of your WSDL and generate a set of HTML pages for human-readable
consumption, do a Google on "wsdldoc".  I think IBM had such a tool in
it's "emerging tool kit".  I believe that bluetetra also has one
(http://www.bluetetra.com/).
