I don't see how it makes debugging tooling easier. I also haven't seen a compelling argument to be 
able to say it is inherently a better practice. But as I said, if it's a trend that the working 
group wants to follow, fine. Regardless, until I see a convincing argument to the contrary, I'm 
sticking with my belief that it's better from an organizational point of view (think object 
oriented) to encapsulate in the WSDL document the set of schema types and elements that have no 
relevance outside of that WSDL.
