Re: [wsrf] New issue: Avoid use of "wsrp" for namespace prefix of shorthandfor WS-ResourceProperties

[Steve Graham <sggraham@us.ibm.com>]

Tom:
Your reaction was precisely my initial
reaction (this item has come up before).  We all know that the namespace
prefix is non-normative, it is sugar coating, for all we care WS-Resource
Properties could have a "conventional prefix" of "foobar:"
and nothing normative would change.

For me, the namespace prefix convention
shifting to wsrf-rp helps to reinforce the wsrf family of specs.  That
is basically how I view it to get past my initial distaste of "the
prefix is non-normative, what the heck is the fuss all about?"

I do not understand this request; the namespace prefix is non-normative
in
the specifications and anyone can and will change it to whatever they need.
Are we trying to standardize prefixes?

Special request from the Web Service for Remote Portlets TC, who have a
prior claim to "WSRP" as an acronym.

We could consider changing all our namespace prefixes to wsrf-rp, wsrf-rl
etc and including "WSRF-RP" etc as the abbreviated form of the
specification name in the introductions of each spec to start to train
people not to say "WSRP" when they mean "WS-ResourceProperties".

Ian
