[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

    [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/ODATA-1039?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=65463#comment-65463 ] 

Matthew Borges commented on ODATA-1039:
---------------------------------------

Swift allows naming a project with a - in the name but it doesn't allow module names to contain a - (it automatically converts the '-' to a '_' in the module name).

Swift also allows a project name to be just a number.  However, the module name has the first number replaced with a _ implying that a module name cannot be just a number.

> 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.
