> Some possible improvements include:
> 1) No .inputType and .inputType={'param":"anyType"} are different - should be different in the WSDL.The first has no wrapper (shoudl be input element="#any") and second does (should be input element="something", something introduces an operation name wrapper and the <param> wrapper.
> 2) I think without any annotations there should be an <input element="#none"/> for no parameters, <input element="#any"> for one parameter, and perhaps an error if there is more than one.  And <output element="#any">  (If we were smart enough to detect there was no return then we could also do <output element=#none>).
> 3) We want to be able to say .outputType = "#any", which would mean the same thing as not having an .outputType.
> 4) Consider whether forcing JS authors always to use schema types is good.  It might be better to use "string" to mean a JS string, which we by default will convert to an "xs:string" ("date" converted to "xsateTime" is a more illustative example.)  Or they can specify a specific schema type by using the xs: prefix explicitly.  That is, "date" is a javascript Date object, which we'll convert to the closest XS type, but "xsate" would mean use the xsate schema type in the wsdl.
> 5. I can even imagine allowing user-defined JS objects as types, as long as they have a "toXML" method defined.
> 6. Need detailed type mappings (e.g. what to do about characters allowed in JS strings disallowed in xs:strings.
