Updated Naming Guidelines for review and discussion

[William Cox <wtcox@comcast.net>]

The TAB has significantly updated the Artifact Naming Guidelines. Thanks for the comments!

We've added a context-free grammar for the names, extended examples, and an editorial pass for consistency and references.

Many of the comments were on the URN section (and its relationship to RFC 3121).  I've pulled that section from the current workind draft 08 so we can get you the rest of the document now; when the URN section is updated we'll send that to this list -- probably near the end of October.

There are updates to the OASIS TC Process and to the OASIS IPR policy pending; these Naming Guidelines will be synchronized with those and released later this year (likely effective date for all of these is the end of the year).

Comments are invited - to this list, or email to the editors (myself and Tim Moses), or to the TAB list if you're a member.

Thanks!
