I would say that it invalid, at least for soap. The WSI-BP specifically says:
R2204 A document-literal binding in a DESCRIPTION MUST refer, in each of its soapbind:body element(s), only to wsdl:part element(s) that have been defined using the element attribute. and R2203 An rpc-literal binding in a DESCRIPTION MUST refer, in its soapbind:body element(s), only to wsdl:part element(s) that have been defined using the type attribute. In your case, it's not defined by type or element, and thus is not valid for rpc/lit or doc/lit. Thus, I would say throwing an exception saying this is invalid is an appropriate thing to do.
