I think it just simplifies everything to use message types only. If we
allowed non-message types as requests or responses then it would also be
difficult to change the API over time, whereas with messages it's easy to
add new fields.

As far as I know there is no way to specify partial messages in the service
schema. However, you can always specify the full message with the
understanding that it won't necessarily have a value set in every field.
