Subject: [editorial] change of element names
I propose that all our Header element names start with the prefix 'RM', i.e., Request element be renamed RMRequest, PollRequest be renamed as RMPollRequest, and Response be renamed RMResponse. Reason being that the current names are too generic and could be confusing (to manual readers). Not an issue for tools though as they are all QNames. Just to jot some memories, all our names indeed used to start with this prefix a while back. However, they were removed later as people felt it is redundant as the namespace prefix (used in some of our examples) also use the word 'rm'. To me that's a flawed reasoning. Namespace prefix is just a namespace prefix. We can't mandate that consumers of this always use the prefix 'rm'. Namespace prefix is just a convenience alias mechanism. It's valid and legal to use any prefix (foo:Request, xyz:InvalidMessageId etc..) as long as the prefix is correctly defined to our namespace. Infact, the usage of prefix is not always required if the default namespace is defined to be RM namespace. As a matter of fact, the examples in page 7-8-9 doesn't use any prefix for RM elements. -Sunil
