Notes

·         Bindings are spread across several namespaces.

·        DataContractAttribute is placed in the System.Runtime.Serialization namespace not in the System.ServiceModel namespace.

·         Configuration sections are spread across several namespaces.

·         ClientSection and ServicesSection: First has the structure client/endpoint, the second – services/service/endpoint. Asymmetric.
