I sympathize -- I had to figure out WSDL well enough to write some examples in my book, and it wasn't a fun task.

Two checkers that might be handy if you haven't already tried them on your WSDL: http://www.mindreef.net/tide/scopeit/start.do and http://soapclient.com/soaptest.html. Thanks for letting us all in on your experiments!

You may find this WS description language interesting... no great tool support i am afraid but we hope it's easier than WSDL...

sometimes...when people are not looking....i use RDDL to define and describe my REST type web services....

I find WSDL is, like the rest of the WS stack, overblown for anything less then enterprise type development....if need be I would suggest using XML Spy to create a nice WSDL document....when I made them for various books, etc...
