That works for me, but I would remove the intermediate prefixes restriction such that prefixes can start with a number.

[cmis] Namespace proposal and complex properties with lists
Hi all,
Reading the namespace proposal, I feel it could allow for interesting
complex properties with the following small modification. I would like
to allow full-digits intermediate "prefixes", in order to have
properties named like:
MyRepository:Finance:Orders:42:OrderNumber
MyRepository:Finance:Orders:42:OrderTitle
MyRepository:Finance:Orders:42:OrderCustomers:0:CustomerId
This would allow exposing complex properties that contain lists of
subproperties.
It would only require changing the spec a bit to state that a non-
initial prefix may be a non-negative integer as well as a SQL-92
identifier.
(Also for interoperability for clients/servers that want to interpret
them as actual lists, it would be good to standardize that lists start
at 0.)
This sidesteps the problem of having these properties actually
available in object types, so this proposal is purely syntactic and
for future extensibility, but I think that it makes sense.
What do you think?
Florent
