Ok, maybe I misunderstood, but I thought this addin (listed on the
Monodevelop TODO page) was all about making it easier on the client side
- for WS consumers. The wsdl tool will help in that regard but I guess
the point is to visually integrate it into Monodevelop. It certainly has
a limited scope, nothing like WCF.
