I've never been able to get this to work in my tooling, but that's ok. We
can use your version.

Ah, yes, typo on my part. It is not the "ResponseType"s which were multiply
defined, it is the "Response"s. So, CreateActivityResponseType was defined
once, but CreateActivityResponse was defined twice. While I understand what
you are saying, my tooling cannot handle the fact that (in the old wsdl/xsd)
both the xsd and the wsdl define an <element> with the same qname. Even if
other tooling can do this, I don't think it is a good idea.

I also noticed that your version changes "GetAttributesDocument" to
"GetFactoryAttributesDocument". Is this a post-v26 change to the WSDL? I'm
fine with this operation name, it just wasn't in v26.
