Two problems that need to be fixed for the WS-BRSP machine readable files

[Chet Ensign <chet.ensign@oasis-open.org>]

Jacques & members of the WS-BRSP TC, 

In processing the requests for Committee Spec Drafts and public reviews for WS-BRSP, I encountered two problems in the associated machine artifact files that I need the TC to fix. These problems occur in the associated machine readable files for Reliable Secure Profile v1.0, Basic Profile v1.2 and Basic Profile v2.0.  

1. The OASIS namespace coined does not follow the namespace rules in the Naming Directives (http://docs.oasis-open.org/specGuidelines/ndr/namingDirectives.html#xml-namespaces). Specifically, the namespace in the schemas and other related files is http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/ws-i/ws-brsp/Profile-TAs/201305. The legal form is http://docs.oasis-open.org/[tc-shortname]/ns/xxxx where xxxx is a character string picked by the TC.

2. There is at least one instance (in TestAssertionsBasicProfile-1.2.xml) of an element using a blank space in what appears to be a file name ( <profile… xsi:schemaLocation="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/ws-i/ws-brsp/Profile-TAs/201305 Profile-TAs.xsd"). Per the Naming Directives, filenames cannot contain blank spaces. 

Note that there was also a file submitted with space characters in the name  - Test Assertions Reliable Secure Profile - Version 1.0.htm. I removed those blank spaces from the filename. 

Here is what I need the TC to do to remediate this: 

1. The Naming Directives state that a namespace must use the pattern: 

http://docs.oasis-open.org/[tc-shortname]/ns/xxxx 

where xxxx can be a string picked by the TC. Based on the namespace submitted, I believe that http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-brsp/ns/Profile-TAs-201305 would be acceptable to the TC. If it is, then please revise all namespaces where they occur in the computer language files to reflect this pattern. 

2. Remove the blank space from xsi:schemaLocation="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/ws-i/ws-brsp/Profile-TAs/201305 Profile-TAs.xsd"any place it occurs in the files. It can be deleted or replaced with a hyphen. 

3. Once you have these fixed, email the revised files to me so that I can replace them in the CSDs and CSPRDs. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
