The SOAP 1.1 and WSDL 1.1 specifications aren't really standards. They never went through a rigorous standardization effort, and no one did interoperability testing of these specs prior to their publication. (These specs have never been updated since they were first published in 2000.) There are a bunch of inaccuracies, inconsistencies, errors, and ambiguities in the specs.
In order to enable interoperability, the community decided to "profile" these specs -- to resolve these inaccuracies, inconsistencies, errors, and ambiguities. That's what the WS-I Basic Profile is. If you want to integrate .NET and J2EE, you need to follow the WS-I BP guidelines.
