Issue 015: Replace namespace and action URIs

["Colleen Evans" <coevans@microsoft.com>]

There are three considerations related to this issue [1]:

1. The action and namespace URIs need to be updated to adhere to the OASIS guidelines.� 

2. The TC needs to determine when URIs should change (e.g., between committee drafts). 

3. The TC should have a namespace document to point to various resources. 

Related to consideration 1, Ian's proposal lists the URIs that should be updated and suggests a format: 

replace
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/10/...
with
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wstx/2005/11/...


Based on the OASIS guidelines and the WS-RX TC's experience, I propose we add a '-' (ws-tx) which is the TC short name (not wstx) and switch the date and product order: 

http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-tx/[product]/yyyy/mm/[element name], ��

or�yyyymm without the '/'

using 2006 rather than 2005 for the year.

For example:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-tx/wscoor/2006/04/Register

Also, there are elements missing from the list of URIs in the issue (e.g., CreateCoordination context).� The editors should review the list and ensure all action and namespace URIs are identified.

Related to considerations 2 and 3, the TC needs to determine when the NS should change.� The submitted issue also touches on this:� 

"....when an incompatible schema change is made so that the XML namespace of
the schema needs to be changed."

The WS-RX TC has resolved an issue on versioning policy that covers this same territory [2].� I suggest that the WS-TX TC should consider a similar direction. 

Best regards,
Colleen
