The RDDL documents used a OASIS don't yet have a fixed
format, but they are very useful in that one can
conveniently edit the namespace document when new
(namespace-related) resources become available.

----------

Example NS URIs: they (now) dereference immediately to
the RDDL namespace document that documents the namespace:
