Doesn't this really parallel the situation on the client side where we
introduced WSCallableClient and method signatures and so on?

We ought to follow an orthogonal approach to the client side.  The user
can specify any function even without WSDL provided they explicitly give
the signature.  If they have a WSDL, then the signature can default to
that specified in the WSDL.
