Yep, that's what I had in mind...

Err... Not an expert in rpc/encoded, but when I remove the name
attribute, Eclipse says:
cvc-complex-type.4: Attribute 'name' must appear on element 'wsdl:service'.
I *think* this is an XSD validation error so this would be true in
rpc/encoded too.

Well, everything in the WSDL is in the targetNamespace defined in the
root element, right?
I think the correct way to identify a service is like:
{http://funcnet.eu/FuncNet_1_0/}CodaCathService
i.e. {namespace-uri}ServiceName

I think we would need operation name -- a port type can have multiple
operations -- I think this is pretty common actually, e.g. in
submit/monitor/retrieve services.
But I disagree about using the WSDL for the reasons in the last mail :-)
{namespace-uri}ServiceName -> PortType -> operation ??

Err, I am now, feel free to reply there instead...
