That's fine - anyone that wants a URI to reference an XML structure
can make and RDF assertion about the structure.

A cynic might point out that at this juncture the vendors have to be
seen to get their act together on the specification front -
customers and analysts are far from happy with how WS technology is
being managed currently. The same cynic might say that the W3C
evaluating a specification on the merits of the underlying
technology in question might be beneficial for all concerned.
