Hi John,

My take is that these three assertions are really just a single assertion. 
If a target namespace is dereferencable it should point to a human or 
machine processable document.

As far as implementing assertions, let's stick to the MUST assertions 
(i.e. errors). We can try to work in these optional assertions later.

Questions on Description assertions






This is probably a question for Arthur, but I'll accept any takers.  The 
WSDL spec defines these 3 document assertions:

Description-1001: 
The value of the targetNamespace attribute information item SHOULD be 
dereferencable.? 

Description-1002:
 It SHOULD resolve to a human or machine processable document that 
directly or indirectly defines the intended semantics of those components.
? 

Description-1003
It MAY resolve to a WSDL 2.0 document that provides service description 
information for that namespace.? 

I think I can test the 1001 assertion just by connecting to stream and 
seeing if I can get something back. I'm not sure how to test 1002 and 
1003.  For 1002, how to check for the 'intended semantics'? For 1003, the 
'WSDL 2.0 document' referred to be the assertion text sounds like the same 

one I'm trying to validate?

Should we just focus on the Error assertions for now (e.g. those that say 
"MUST"), and just document any Warning assertions ("SHOULD", "MAY") that 
we ignore?

regards,
John Kaputin
