WSDL is a standard. The WSDL should define the service itself (endpoint,
operations, etc.) but not the data. The schemas do that and you still have
those even when using a straight POST.

Isn't that just prolonging the problem? Lazy programmers talking to other
lazy programmers?
I kind of thought WSDL was a standard? (if not lets go back to exchanging
CSV text files). One system to another (one system) is not an option.

You don't need to know a lot about WSDL's until you start developing
more complex data streams that talk to many different platforms and
languages. In the end, if you are offering public web services, you
will inevitably become familiarized with WSDL/XSD/XML because not
everyone does it like Microsoft. And then once you become familiar
with WSDL/XSD/XML and have to "debug" it for your customers, you will
inevitably say to yourself: why not simplify this approach to use HTTP
POST + simple XML (like I said earlier in this post).
Just my experience of the roughly 10yrs I have been doing web services
(with the last 6 years doing it almost fulltime).

Isn't that the point of object oriented development. Building black
boxes :-)
Just a minute. Let me get my hammer and chisel. Clang...Clang...
Ouch :-)
Try bending your mind around it and you might find that the better way it
to NOT hand code WSDL..... Clang...Clang...

Then I'd say you are working with a black box, letting the WSDL be
generated for you. That may work great, until you need to interpret or
read the WSDL or schemas while debugging or troubleshooting.
