<context><p>If you have selected Require or Suggest WS-I Compliance
on the WS-I Compliance preference page, the validation also checks
WS-I compliance. If you have selected Ignore WS-I Compliance the validator
will only check the validity of the WSDL. For more information on
setting WS-I compliance levels, refer to:  <xref

the WS-I compliance settings that you have selected.</p><p>To validate
