---------------------------------

             Summary: Relax constraints on namespace names
                 Key: ODATA-1039
                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-1039
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: OData CSDL
    Affects Versions: V4.01_CSD01
         Environment: Proposed
            Reporter: Ralf Handl
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: V4.01_CSD02


Currently a namespace has to consist of several dot-separated segments, and each segment has to be a SimpleIdentifier (essentially a JavaScipt/Java/Swift/C# variable name).

We could relax this and allow - at least for the second, third, ... segment, additional characters, most prominently the dash (-), and allow to have purely numeric segments, e.g. Some.Namespace.3.1.4 to allow for semantic versioning of namespaces.
