It looks out of the place in comparison to what exactly? A WSDL-document?
You certainly me laugh hard on that....

You can't leave WSDL out of SOAP, you can leave it out of XMLRPC. Which is
nice and easy, but lacks any contract whatsoever. Nothing I as a Pythoneer
care to much about, but some people bother.

And generating the WSDL works from what exactly? ah, Java-code for example,
using java2wsdl. Which has a striking resemblance to.... C. Funny....

So - you say that yourself, but still you previously claimed IDL looks
strange to the eye?
