Re: [ws-tx] Issue 015: Replace namespace and action URIs

[Christopher B Ferris <chrisfer@us.ibm.com>]

I have submitted comments on the ASIS
related to this issue of: "to wstx or ws-tx". Given that
the WS-RX TC has already begun using
the persistent URI space assigned by the OASIS
staff at http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-rx/,
and that this is inconsistent with the current draft
of the ASIS, I have asked that they
reconsider the prohibition of the hyphen character
at least in the context of the non-terminal
path component segment of a URI.

I have yet to have my comments acknowledged,
but I expect that Jamie will respond
in due course.

Cheers,
