Oops, well spotted,  it should have been as you suggest...

<binding.ws requires="transport.jms"/>

It doesn't do any harm adding the WSDL but it works without although
currently I don't expect the WSDL definition model has the correct JMS
entries in it, i.e. I haven't written the code to make that happen.

Interesting question here about which piece of configuration wins. I guess
that if you have gone to the trouble to specify the WSDL over and above the
intent the WSDL should win.
