Subject: Re: [ubl] Schema/model bugs
Jon, I probably won't be able to make tomorrow's meeting again, but I would like to encourage those who do participate in it to seriously reconsider the decision (if there was one, and if it is not in conflict with existing NDR rules) to use DataType instead of Datatype. Both XSD and RELAXNG use "datatype" or "Datatype" consistently throughout. The fact that "data" and "type" are English words but "datatype" is not is not, in my mind, a sound argument. English words are made, not born, as it were, and the tendency to fuse two distinct words as a sign that one is using a technical term rather than a compound one (e.g. database, filesystem, etc.) is well established and does indeed give birth to new English words as needed.
