This is just a behavior of the shallow reflection used to paint the
documentation page. In general, you need to use a properly created proxy
to actually call the service - and that proxy relies on the contract, not
on the server side implementation.

I think you'll find that the proxy defines the right inheritence structure
for the data items that are public and serialized to the wire. There won't
be any callable methods on the data objects, since this is not object
remoting, it is a contract bound interface only that makes the data on the
wire the bridge between systems.
