namespaces

the modular nature of the standard.


  If they are requiring us to declare
one before we're ready, we should push back.

  According to Mary McRae, we no longer
need
an overview document; the overview document was necessary ONLY because
we had both an architectural spec and a language spec.


However, Mary says:


"Since there are DTDs and Schemas, the TC must define a namespace.
I highly recommend that the TC define an http namespace and provide a
namespace
document. The namespace document will contain links to the spec, the
schemas
and the dtd files. OASIS requires namespaces to be in the following
format:
  

  http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/dita/{namespace
name goes here} OR

  http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/ns/{namespace
name goes here}"


So what do we want for our namespace name?

  

FYI, here is a link to the OASIS namespace template:
