Where can I find a full WADL spec?

Question

I've read a great example of a WADL file. I've also checked out the WADL2Java tool.

But I can't seem to find a full spec of the WADL format. I have many unanswered questions, mostly dealing with how various parts of the file relate to one another and whether I can reduce duplication by using references.

Later

leppie got the official answer, but that document kind of sucks. Anyone have a better reference?

Meanwhile an updated specification for the Web Application Description Language (WADL) has been provided as a W3C Member Submission and it's quality has noticeably increased accordingly (though still not on par with an official W3C Recommendation or so); see WADL now a W3C Member Submission for the announcement by Marc Hadley, who authored both versions.

Please note that there are some Changes since November 2006 Publication, you'll find more information regarding these in Marc Hadleys blog post Draft WADL Update.
