I don't think we wanted them in the SCA namespace, but we wanted them in whatever namespace the containing definitions document prescribed.

[sca-policy] How do intent names get into the SCA namespace? |
I was given an action item to investigate how intent names ( qualified
and unqualified) get into the SCA namespace?
Strictly speaking, namespaces collect only the names of elements defined
in a XML Schema in the namespace declared in the schema. However, there
are many other situations where names need to be collected in a
namespace. Currently, the way to do so is to just say so!
Some years ago, I authored a spec that defined functions and operators
to be defined on XQuery and XPath 2.0.
We wanted to get the function names into a namespace so we could refer
to them using the QName syntax such as fn:add. So, what did we do? We
wrote text that said, in effect, these functions are in this namespace.
So, what I recommend is that we add a statement in the SCA Policy
Framework spec that says, in the section that introduces intents: "names
of intents, both qualified and unqualified defined in this specification
are included in the general SCA namespace ..."
FWIW: There is a spec working its way through W3C that would allow any
collection of names to be included in a namespace and referred to using
the QName syntax but it is not a spec yet and so we cannot rely on it.
