Do we have to? I think using the PHP5 implementation would cause the least
dependencies from other libraries because it is enabled by default. Plus it
smoothly fits into PHP in general.

But maybe that's only a question of personal preferences.

Yes of course. Open Office files are also XML, so you could create them
manually.

I don't say that WSDL is complex but you don't want to change that manually
each time you create / modify / delete a method in your API. It was just a
sidenote that we cannot create it automatically with PHP5 (yet), no big
deal.
