The example you have given was:

$addSignature = new WSMethodSignature("a", "b")
$add.returnType = "xs:int"
$add.paramTypes = array("xs:int", "xs:int")

...

   "methods" => array("add" => $addSignature)

I suppose we need to add returnName attribute to WSMethodSignature.
Also, if signature spec is not given, we can assume defaults. 

In case of wrapping SoapParam, one of the challenges is that, SoapParam 
could be constructed within the user function. So I am wondering how we 
could make use WSMethodSignature to support SoapParam.
