Have you ever tried to create HTML page in MS Word? If so, then you know that 90% of the code is crappy. WSDL is a service description. How you want to understand or test it if the code looks like a mess?

Another thing – service description depends on your business. Do you really want to leave it for automated tools? Do they know your business area better?

So, next time when someone gives you WSDL generated from source code, you don’t even have to look at it to reject it.
