Re: [codelist] Dissenting argument on namespace URI

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@CraneSoftwrights.com>]

It has been brought to my attention that an OASIS policy that states 
"HTTP scheme namespace URIs are to be preferred" is already in place:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/specGuidelines/namingGuidelines/resourceNamingV07.html#NamespaceDesign

I do note that this policy does not allow other files in the 
directory, so we cannot put the schema files in that directory as I 
had hoped.  We can perhaps create another directory with these files, say:

   http://docs.oasis-open.org/codelist/genericode/1.0/

I was unaware of these policy issues before writing my comments to 
Ray ... would members please review the policy statements before 
tomorrow's meeting?

Thanks!
