RE: [office] OASIS namespace design and resources

["Mary McRae" <mary.mcrae@oasis-open.org>]

Hi Michael,

  To clarify just a bit further, URNS are your only choice in option a); if
you use a URL you must follow the naming guidelines and use the TC short
name (office). You are welcome to continue the existing practice, knowing
that URNs can't be resolved either.

Regards,

Mary
