Should WSDLs have stylesheets? After all, as they say, web services are for computers what web browsers are for human beings--but computers don't care about how data looks, so the need for stylesheets is less clear. (Although I certainly understand that the intention of the stylesheet is for the WSDL to be more pleasing to the human.)
Another concern about allowing stylesheets is that they could visually mask or alter the web service's appearance. Hide some operations, for example, possibly even change values (I think)--how much of a concern is that? We have a JAX-WS requirement that the wsdl be viewable at http://endpointurl?wsdl, but arguably that is still met even if the WSDL looks different to the human eye (because of the stylesheet) than it does when processed by the machine.
