Thanks for the suggestions. I searched down a similar path - perhaps just converting the XML schemas to JSON or something would avoid the typing.
But I heartily disagree with you about the WSDL being in XML and the service itself dealing in JSON being common. I would expect the service to be described using "JSON Schema" instead of a soap-style XML WSDL - that is just odd ball. With the JSON schema you could at least use something from DOJO to easily create the example data packets given the service description.
