We need a name space for DITA 1.2

[Kristen James Eberlein <kris@eberleinconsulting.com>]

According to Mary McRae, we no longer need an overview document; the overview document was necessary ONLY because we had both an architectural spec and a language spec.

However, Mary says:

"Since there are DTDs and Schemas, the TC must define a namespace. I highly recommend that the TC define an http namespace and provide a namespace document. The namespace document will contain links to the spec, the schemas and the dtd files. OASIS requires namespaces to be in the following format:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/dita/{namespace name goes here} OR

http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/ns/{namespace name goes here}"

So what do we want for our namespace name?

FYI, here is a link to the OASIS namespace template:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/namespace.html

Best,

Kris
