sadly under its current structure, real practical testing is not
something the WS-I is seemingly able to undertake, let alone conformance
testing. They have "sample applications" which, whilst interesting, only
exhibit a small subset of possible Web service interactions. They also
have some "testing tools" which sniff messages and compare them against
a WSDL applying a small subset of the Basic Profile assertions.
