Why have minor version in the portType and Servicename

Hi,

The defacto best practices on wsdl versioning, states that the major
and minor version should be part of the portType and Servicename.

This means, that version 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 will all have different
urls, and different services, different implementation classes.

I am wondering, why is this recommended. If all minor versions are
backwards compatible, then why not have one service and one url for
all minor releases of a major version? What is the downside to this?

tia,
