Re: [ubl-comment] Non-Backwards compatible change in UBL 2.3?

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@CraneSoftwrights.com>]

I've understood our commitment to backward compatibility to be that 
all schema-valid instances of previous versions of UBL be 
schema-valid instances of any given version of UBL.

The unqualified data type namespace as no role in a UBL instance. It 
is a housekeeping namespace used in the declaration of the elements 
whose namespaces are being preserved for backward compatibility.

To me, the housekeeping namespaces are fair game for change. But that 
is just my opinion and what I've recommended to the committee.

I thank you for your comment and with this response I acknowledge 
that the committee will look into your comment and come up with a 
formal committee stance on the issue. This is important to 
acknowledge in the documentation so to answer this same question from 
other astute observers.

Also, the documentation needs to be reviewed to ensure that the 
change is properly reflected.

Thanks, Philip!
