?WSDL is more 'typical' than 'standard'.
.NET uses it, Axis uses it.  Does anything else matter? :-)

But seriously, WSDL is available for a given web service at a given URL.

The publisher of the web service publishes the URL, and you should in no way depend on 
that URL having anything to do with the service.  In fact it has been pointed out to 
axis users that if the WSDL that Axis generates is not right, you can provide your own 
WSDL file at a different location and publish that.

and I was wondering: how general is support for "<serviceURL>?wsdl"
as a way of generated WSDL for a given service? I moved from Apache
SOAP to Axis, and was thinking of ?wsdl as an Axis feature rather than
as a general convention -- is it, so to speak, interoperable?
