Re: [ubl-comment] question about UBL Library namespace

["Eve L. Maler" <eve.maler@sun.com>]

Hello Calvin,

The current design rule is to have several schema modules -- common leaf 
types, common aggregate types, order-related structures, invoice-related 
structures, etc. -- each of which has an associated namespace.  However, 
most of the elements are in fact not namespace-qualified; only the 
top-level message elements and all the XSD types are.  The rest of the 
elements are declared in local/unqualified fashion.

However, we in the Naming and Design Rules subcommittee have ben been 
re-assessing this rule against the two other possibilities 
(local/qualified and global), and it's possible that we'll change it 
around.  Any change to the rule would happen no later than our next 
face-to-face meeting, which is October 1-4.

We would be happy to receive comments on this point, on both the 
technical and scheduling aspects.
