If I have to do what you suggest every time there is a change in the Abstract definition of one of the WS then I will have to change my job description ;) As for referencing: what is the function of the following in the casa source:
>     <bindings>
>         <link xlink:href="../jbiServiceUnits/XXX-BPEL/External/AES.wsdl#xpointer(/definitions/binding[@name='AESBinding'])" xlink:type="simple"/>
>     <services>
