Eduardo

Thanks for these comments. I thought, looking at the rule, that it should be
changed to xmlns="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:Order:1:0"
or is that what it should be prior to standards approval?

Also, should we be going back to prefixing with draft numbers until we are
sure
we have a bug-free set of Schemas?

be different than the earlier 1:0 schemas we released?  We could have it as
1.0-draft-1, or 1.0.1 or something like that.  Or are we intending that
everyone that receives this final release will replace any previous one
marked '1.0'.  This could cause a lot of confusiion, though, as I'm not sure
how one would identify the 'correct' 1.0 schemas once they were installed
and/or circulated.
