Subject: Re: [ws-rx] NEW ISSUE: XML Namespace URIs
Blech. I hate 50 foot long URI's, it is so unnecessary. Frankly, there's no reason that the namespace URI needs to include the 'committees' path segment. I believe that the new AIR provide for the use of a pattern as follows (see sect 7.2 and 7.3): http://docs.oasis-open.org/[product]/ for a product folder. Also, there is a TC folder which we can use: http://docs.oasis-open.org/[tcName]/ We could put the RDDL in either location, hence, it could be the root of our namespace tree. I think that 'wsreliablemessaging' as a value for the [product] name is too long. Maybe we could just leverage the [tcName] and have a namespace URIs like: http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-rx/[yyyymm]/rm http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-rx/[yyyymm]/rm/policy That's a 44 character namespace URI versus a 74 character namespace URI, and 51 versus 67. Note that despite the fact that there will be a RDDL document at the end of these URI's, there's no need to add a filename with an .html extension. See the current namespace URIs for example. I think that the other thing that we want to consider is the versioning strategy for the namespace URI as this will inform us as to whether we might choose a namespace URI at the start, that doesn't change with every CD.
