Rule: 5

["Lisa-Aeon" <lseaburg@aeon-llc.com>]

Rules for Voting:  Each email will have only one rule in it, I will try to
mark the rules that group with it, or rules that might duplicate it.  The
membership has 5 working days to bring forth objection or discussion, after
the 5 working days, if there are no objections, the rule will be assumed to
be "ACCEPTED" and be given to the LCSC for their implementation.

Voting period on this rule ends:  July 24, 2003

*******************************

We discussed the actually wording on this rule, but had not finalized
whether or not it is accepted.  Please read through, I put together a
changed rule that I think is what the group had wanted.  Discuss and vote.

Old Wording:

[R 5]  XML names constructed from dictionary entry names must not include
periods, spaces, or other separators.

Change to:

[R 5]  The XML names in UBL should be drawn from the regular expression set
[a-zA-Z]+[a-zA-Z0-9]*.


Comments:

This is another rule LCSC has been asking for, should we clarify?

The regular expression is not quite right, but we agree.  We want
clarification, we don't want difficulty in translation or programming within
other environments.

CK: Underscores (_) used as first character to denote "internal usage of
some sort" need not be considered separators, but should presumably fall
under this guidance of usage avoidance. So suggest that "separators" be
replaced by  "any other character than the 52 upper and lower case alphabets
and the 10 digit characters.  In other words, the XML names in UBL should be
drawn from the regular expression set [a-zA-Z]+[a-zA-Z0-9]*" Note: this
would also help mapping to the namespaces of other  languages such as
Java.Correction from

Dan Vint: Change regular expression to: [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*
