Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] (ODATA-887) Should we allow multi-part namespace alias names?


    [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-887?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=61378#comment-61378 ] 

Michael Pizzo commented on ODATA-887:
-------------------------------------

May have to do in V4.01.

Investigate XML; would aliases containing a dot break our CSDL or ATOM payload format?

> Currently namespace aliases are defined as simple identifiers, while namespaces can (but are not required to) be multi-part.
> Unclear why there is this distinction; it's not possible to tell from a single-part name whether the name references a namespace or an alias, so why prohibit multi-part names (i.e., names containing a dot (".")) in aliases?
> There are scenarios where a namespace is long that an application may want to use a shorter name but still represent some level of hierarchy in the naming scheme.
