[humanmarkup-comment] PC1-Inclusions

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Hi Everyone,

I am excerpting a message I received the first day of the Public 
Comment Period from the chair of the Customer Information Quality TC 
(CIQ).

"... It will be useful if you can explicitly state and refer to the 
schemas used from other groups/bodies in your specifications document 
as a separate section."

To those of you who are familiar with the process we use for 
archiving our discussions automatically, you know the drill, and for 
those who are not familiar with process: Please reply to this message 
if you have comments, discussion, suggestions, etc. If you have 
comments, etc that range beyond it, please post those separately with 
a subject line of your choice.

This particular issue is one I encountered as I compiled our schema 
and I solved it only in the schema itself and did not include any 
mention of it in the textual specification documents.

I think it belongs in the Introduction.

I am going to suggest to the appropriate  OASIS 
committees/chairs/Technical Advisory Board that a formal method for 
inclusions of other standards be adopted.

As it happens the CIQ schema namespaces are included in our schema 
for their extensible Name Language (xNL:2.0) and extensible Address 
Language (xAL:2.0). There are also other namespaces imported, but 
they are commented out for now because their namespace urns/locations 
are not finalized. Those are HR-XML and XNS.

Ciao,
Rex
