Title: Message

This is not what I thought we had agreed to do. We only need to rev the namespace when non-backwards compatible changes are made, not at each CD etc.

Folks,

My view on the namespace is that we should aim to have one and one only and not change it
at all until the publication of the "final" version of the specification.  Making changes for every
CD makes no sense to me.  The CD's are drafts and have no "official" status.

Folks who are trying to "follow" the XSDs etc during the spec development process will simply
have to put up with the changes, with no assistance from dates in the NS's.  Only once there is
something official available will there be a need to mark any future changes with a different NS.

So, to cut to the chase how about the following as a namespace for assembly:


http://docs.oasis-open.org/OpenCSA/SCA-Common/200803



...we can vote to change to a later dated namespace once we get near final publication of OASIS SCA 1.0....

Yours,  Mike.

I agree.
But before we do that we need to figure out a NS change policy: when
would we change the namespace between two CDS? Would there be a change
for every version, or would it change only when there is a backward
incompatible change? Do we need to sync up the NS between various TCs?

Putting such a policy in place would be helpful for early
adopters/implementers.
