Hmmm so is the only risk that someone may have a class called WSRequest??
If so I'm now -1 on putting it into the wso2.wsf namespace for the reasons
Thilina cites below.
Sorry for waffling on it but I (stupidly) thought that functions like
send() were exposed but they're not as they're methods of the WSRequest
object.
