Subject: Re: [wsbpel] Issue 92 - 92.1 - Do not associate XML namespaces withextension IDs - Proposal For Vote
I think the really important point is whether the <bpel:extensions> element should declare XML language extensions alone or also support something else. The intent has always been the former. So, call it "namespace" or "URI", the requirement is that it identifies an XML dialect being used in the definition of the process, and the way we identify XML dialects today is by providing the namespace of the schemas that define them. Anything else sounds like trying to expand the scope of issue 92. Paco "Yaron Y.

This is an unfortunate choice as it implies that the URI used to identify the extension is also the namespace URI of the attributes and elements associated with that extension. As I explain in <http://www.goland.org/Tech/extensions.htm> associating the extension URI and namespace URIs is not a good idea. It provides very little added benefit since it can only catch a tiny handful of typos and it makes re-use painful. I therefore propose that we name the attribute that will identify the extension "extensionURI" (based on a suggestion from Alex Yiu). This would make the syntax for the extension element into: <process> … <extensions> ? <extension extensionURI=”anyURI” mustUnderstand=”yes|no”/> * </extensions> … </process> Yaron --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: wsbpel-unsubscribe@lists.oasis-open.org For additional commands, e-mail: wsbpel-help@lists.oasis-open.org
