As Aaron says the WADL will change often. Maybe multiple times a day.
The 1.0 WADL should change less often, and only in backwards
compatible ways.

On the dynamic introspection vs compilation angle - I'm skeptical that
runtime resolution is a sensible way to handle code generation simply
because it has no room for manual fixups, you become very dependent on
the compiler logic and input file being complete - and those bugs you
referenced show that this isn't a simple or trivial thing to get
right.

I'm excited that you're working on launchpad-sharp, please do keep us
informed and discuss any issues you have doing it, here.
