Subject: Re: [ubl] WD7 questions regarding schema fragments

 all, nor will they work will in the student exercise environments.

=====================================================================

I don't know what this "WD7 schemas" collection is, or whether the
material is being targeted for release in the OASIS Open Library
(http://docs.oasis-open.org/), but if this is or is intended to
become an official/approved OASIS work product, then the SPACE
character should be removed from all filenames.

It appears that the package has some 36 files with filename
containing SPACE (in addition to the package filename itself)
