RE: [wsbpel] Issue 7 - approved proposal.

Tony,

Your suggestion differs from what XML Schema does with its imports. In Schema, you can import another Schema that has no namespace specified. In that case, the Schema "import" element does not specify the optional "namespace" attribute, with the understanding that element declarations from a schema with no target namespace validate unqualified elements in the instance document.

I would prefer to keep the same behavior for BPEL, unless there is some good reason for changing it.

Ugo
