RE: [opencsa-liaison] Latest/This Version URI for Schema/WSDL files

["Michael Rowley" <mrowley@bea.com>]

+1

I don't think a meeting is necessary for this one, but I believe that
the binding TC was looking for input from the Liason committee regarding
whether or not the bindings should be in the SCA namespace, a binding
specific namespace, or both.  I thought that someone from Bindings was
going to be formally asking the Liason committee to provide a
recommendation on that.

I'm happy to agree on this via email.
So +1 to accepting the proposal as a recommendation.
