Ambiguous WSDL behaviour?

I haven't read WSDL 1.1 specification thoroughly yet but it seems there is an ambiguous behaviour to create a XML message.

I've prepared following files (it's extremely simplified to make this article short).
example.wsdl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<definitions targetNamespace="http://example.com/" name="ExampleService" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:tns="http://example.com/" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/">
  <types>
    <xsd:schema>
      <xsd:import namespace="http://example.com/" schemaLocation="schema1.xsd"/>
    </xsd:schema>
    <xsd:schema>
      <xsd:import namespace="com.example" schemaLocation="schema2.xsd"/>
    </xsd:schema>
  </types>
  <message name="create">
    <part name="parameters" element="tns:create"/>
  </message>
  <message name="createResponse">
    <part name="parameters" element="tns:createResponse"/>
  </message>
  <message name="ExampleServiceException">
    <part name="fault" element="tns:ExampleServiceException"/>
  </message>
  <portType name="Interface">
    <operation name="create">
      <input message="tns:create"/>
      <output message="tns:createResponse"/>
      <fault message="tns:ExampleServiceException" name="ExampleServiceException"/>
    </operation>
  </portType>
  <binding name="ExampleInterfacePortBinding" type="tns:Interface">
    <soap:binding transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http" style="document"/>
    <operation name="create">
      <soap:operation soapAction=""/>
      <input>
        <soap:body use="literal"/>
      </input>
      <output>
        <soap:body use="literal"/>
      </output>
      <fault name="ExampleServiceException">
        <soap:fault name="ExampleServiceException" use="literal"/>
      </fault>
    </operation>
  </binding>
  <service name="ExampleService">
    <port name="ExampleInterfacePort" binding="tns:ExampleInterfacePortBinding">
      <soap:address location="REPLACE_WITH_ACTUAL_URL"/>
    </port>
  </service>
</definitions>
schema1.xsd
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<xs:schema version="1.0" targetNamespace="http://example.com/" xmlns:tns="http://example.com/" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:ns1="com.example">

  <xs:import namespace="com.example" schemaLocation="schema2.xsd"/>

  <xs:element name="ExampleServiceException" type="tns:ExampleServiceException"/>

  <xs:element name="create" type="tns:create"/>

  <xs:element name="createResponse" type="tns:createResponse"/>

  <xs:complexType name="create">
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="request" type="ns1:Request" minOccurs="0"/>
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>

  <xs:complexType name="createResponse">
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="response" type="ns1:Response" minOccurs="0"/>
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>

  <xs:complexType name="ExampleServiceException">
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="message" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>

</xs:schema>
schema2.xsd
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<xs:schema version="1.0" targetNamespace="com.example" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:ns2="com.example">

  <xs:import namespace="http://example.com/" schemaLocation="schema1.xsd"/>

  <xs:complexType name="Request">
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="id" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>

  <xs:complexType name="Response">
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="id" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>

</xs:schema>
Now, I've created a sample message on Soap UI and online WSDL analyser. The result of create messages are followings;
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:exam="http://example.com/">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <exam:create>
         <!--Optional:-->
         <request>
            <!--Optional:-->
            <id>?</id>
         </request>
      </exam:create>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
<ns1:create xmlns:ns1='http://example.com/'>
<!-- optional -->
  <request>
<!-- optional -->
    <ns2:id xmlns:ns2='com.example'>?XXX?</ns2:id>
  </request>
</ns1:create>
The point is that online WSDL analyser's one has namespace com.example and Soap UI one doesn't. Well, from the beginning, I don't understand why both request element doesn't have namespace at all.

As far as I know, JAX-WS requires Soap UI format so this is written some where in spec?
