    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2844?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=19634#action_19634 ] 

Dennis Hamilton commented on OFFICE-2844:
-----------------------------------------

1 Is there any reason why the use of a namespace prefix is not mandatory (shall instead of should)?  Are there any predefined ones that do not have a namespace binding?  The schema says nothing.  Why not change the datatype to prefixed name or whatever.

2. The suggested note is not helpful.  The namespace binding absolutely determines the local names and the semantics of those as names of events.  The definitions under one namespace are independent of those defined under a different namespace.  Note: This does not prevent the same event from being defined under more than one namespace, with the same or different local name.

> "Since the available events, their names and their meanings are implementation and script language dependent, the name should begin with a namespace prefix followed by a ":" (COLON, U+003A), so that the corresponding namespace together with the event name can be used to identify the semantic of the event."
> Don't have to give rationale. Just state the rule. 
> Thus:
> Event names should begin with a namespace prefix followed by a ":" (COLON, U+003A).
> Note: The use of namespaces with event names may help consumers with the semantic of events.
