Title - Namespace URI for W3C WS-Policy Description - We need to specify a W3C namespace URI for the W3C WS-Policy specifications. Justification - WS-Policy Framework [1] Section 2.3 "XML Namespaces" defines the prefix wsp for the namespace URI "http://www.w3.org/@@@@/@@/policy". Various other locations in [1] use this temporary URI. WS-Policy Attachment [2] Section 2.2 "XML Namespaces" defines the prefix wsp for the namespace URI "http://www.w3.org/@@@@/@@/policy". Various other locations use this temporary URI. We need to change this temporary URI to an actual namespace URI and provide a namespace document at that location. See [3] for the W3C recommended policy on namespace URIs. Note the following: "Director approval of a namespace URI is NOT REQUIRED when the URI has the form http://www.w3.org/YYYY/MM/ssss, where: - YYYY and MM are decimal digits corresponding to the year and month of URI allocation, and - ssss is a short string not causing confusion, alarm, or embarrassment." Target - WS-Policy Framework [1] and WS-Policy Attachment [2] both need to be changed. Proposal - a) Change "http://www.w3.org/@@@@/@@/policy" to "http://www.w3.org/2006/07/policy" in all locations in [1] and [2]. b) Check for any locations that might retain the namespace URI from the original member submission specifications. c) Create a namespace document to be placed at the "http://www.w3.org/2006/07/policy" location. Note this namespace document should provide a statement on the change policy for this namespace. /paulc [1] Web Services Policy 1.5 - Framework http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2006/ws/policy/ws-policy-framework.h tml?rev=1.3&content-type=text/html;%20charset=iso-8859-1 [2] Web Services Policy 1.5 - Attachment http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2006/ws/policy/ws-policy-attachment. html?rev=1.2&content-type=text/html;%20charset=iso-8859-1 [3] http://www.w3.org/2005/07/13-nsuri Paul Cotton, Microsoft Canada 17 Eleanor Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K2E 6A3 Tel: (613) 225-5445 Fax: (425) 936-7329 mailto:Paul.Cotton@microsoft.com
