WSDL version question

The  final material  version of BP 2.0 is dated November  2010,  WSDL 2.0 is a W3C recommendation since June  2007.

I think BP still uses the WSDL 1.1 because WSDL 2.0 has not  (at least, not yet) gained much adoption.  Most tools only support  WSDL 1.1.

As  a question, was WS-I B 2.0 developed before or after 2.0? An request to use 1.1  could be a “don’t use that bug-ridden 1.0” or it could be “stay away from the  mistakes of 2.0”  or it could be “use the one that is current as of this  pub date”

As  a related note, the TAB in OASIS is examining specs to find cross-dependencies,  and considering a means for recommended updates as standards  advance.

[energyinterop] WSDL version question

Hello,

Energy Interop wd 36  recommends conformance to WS-I Basic Profile 2.0.  The WSDL version  supported by the WS-I BP 2.0 (and by 1.2) is WSDL 1.1.

The WSDL documents in  wd 36 use the  http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl  namespace  which is the namespace of version 2.0 of WSDL rather than the WSDL 1.1  namespace,  http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/ .

Would it not make  sense to deliver WSDLs in the interoperable version covered by the WS-I profile  that the EI specification references?
