document exchange and WSDL?

[Ralph Sakhr <ra...@geeklings.net>]

Why does a document exchange service expose an operation in the WSDL document?
I was looking at the messaging example and I thought it was strange that it 
would do so, since the messages that are exchanged dont actually conform to any "operation", but are just a random payload.  I guess, the client for the web 
service does NOT use that wsdl right?  It's really weird, I wouldnt expect the 
WSDL thats automatically generated to have operations for the messaging web 
services.

I didn't see anything that explains it in the guide.  I wonder why no one's discussing this question-- either it's really dumb and obvious, or no one else gets it.
