1.1 Notational ConventionsNotational ConventionsThe keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC2119 [RFC2119]. This specification uses a number of namespace prefixes throughout; they are listed in [tabprefns]. Note that the choice of any namespace prefix is arbitrary and not semantically significant (see [XMLInfoSet]).
Namespace names of the general form http://example.org/... and http://example.com/... represent application or context-dependent URIs [RFC2396]. All parts of this specification are normative, with the EXCEPTION of pseudo-schemas, examples, and sections explicitly marked as "Non-Normative". Pseudo-schemas are provided for each component, before the description of this component. They provide visual help for the XML 1.0-based [XML10] serialization, but do not limit the ability of the bindings to be expressed with other versions of XML such as XML 1.1 [XML11] or futures versions of XML Schema [XMLSchemaP1], [XMLSchemaP2]. Note that the WSDL binding specifications in this document are defined in terms of a component model defined by this specification. As such, it is explicitly NOT a conformance requirement to be able to process documents encoded in a particular version of XML. |
