Issue 295 Proposal to Vote

Title: Issue 295 Proposal to Vote

Formal proposal:

1) create a new type for variable names derived from NCName with the restriction that the "." character is not allowed. The name of the type is BPELVariableName.

2) create a new type for a variable name list to handle the attribute value of <validate variables="BPELVariableName-list">

3) Update text in 8.1 as follows:
---- from ----
The name of a <variable> MUST be unique among the names of all variables defined within the same immediately enclosing scope. This requirement MUST be statically enforced. Variable names are NCNames (as defined in XML Schema specification) but in addition they MUST NOT contain the “.” character.

---- to ----
The name of a <variable> MUST be unique among the names of all variables defined within the same immediately enclosing scope. This requirement MUST be statically enforced. Variable names are NCNames (as defined in XML Schema specification) but in addition they MUST NOT contain the “.” character. This restriction is made explicit by the BPEL schema type "BPELVariableName" enforces this restriction.

4) Update text in 8.1 as follows:
---- from ----
The <validate> activity has a variables attribute, listing the variables to validate. The attribute accepts one or more variable names (NCNames), separated by whitespaces.

---- to ----
The <validate> activity has a variables attribute, listing the variables to validate. The attribute accepts one or more variable names (BPELVariableNames), separated by whitespaces.

5) The following lines contain attribute values of NCName that need to change to BPELVariableName.
