Yes you can, since they're two different things. What you probably
meant was that you can't leave WSDL out of "big architecture", W3C
standards-intensive Web services. Of course, RPC-style SOAP without
the contracts imposed by WSDL may remove some of the attractions for
some people (who really should consider CORBA, anyway), but then
there's always document-oriented SOAP, although if you don't want the
baggage associated with routing and other things, plain XML messaging
would be easier. And there's always XMPP if you want stuff like
routing and a standard that isn't undergoing apparently continuous
change.
