WSDL is fully capable of document/literal. The only "problem" is that WSDLs 
for document/literal are very short. All you have to put into is:
- What functionality provides the service?
- Where is the schema that specifies the message content?

The most important requirement is: ONE RNC schema file for every 
functionality 
aka. "function call"!
That means that request and response must have one schema file.
NOT: BWCTL-SetupDataRequest.rnc and BWCTL-SetupDataResponse.rnc
BUT: BWCTL-SetupData.rnc

It might even be useful to put all functionality of a service in one RNC file 
(e.g. BWCTL.rnc). That's afaik the way the NMWG working group had in mind. 
The schemas in SVN seem to follow this design.

That's the only problem that remains. Perhaps someone with more knowledge 
about RNC, XSD and XML, has some idea here...
