That could work - We could even combine the two methods -
QueryInterfaceEndPoint and QueryInterfaceWSDL, into a single method
QueryInterfaceDefinition - it would return two URL's - One to the EndPoint,
the second to the WSDL.. The client must bind to the EndPoint provided,
regardless of what the WSDL states.

Yep - I think we forgot the "two halves" of WSDL. Could we modify
QueryInterfaceWSDL to pass back both the URL the the WSDL AND the
endpoint that the target device binds to that WSDL?
