Registering Namespaces (UNCLASSIFIED)

All,

Apparently, you don't "register a namespace".  You define a namespace
for your standard (in your schema, WSDL, reference architecture, etc.)
You use something that is unique (that's why people use a URL that they
have control over).  OASIS has rules for generating namespaces, but not
registering them.  (But, in effect, when you name your project, you are
really getting a namespace by default.  Oasis says: "HTTP scheme
namespace URIs should be rooted at
http://docs.oasis-open.org/[TC-shortName]/ or (preferably) at
[TC-shortName]/[productName]/ - or possibly otherwise, as negotiated
with TC Administration )."

So, we apparently have no responsibility to OASIS to register a
namespace, just to produce a standard using their rules.
