RE: [soapbuilders] question re: namespace hierarchies

Henrik,

It appears that "ebXML" qualifies as a "relative-path" URI according
to the following excerpt from section 5, " Relative URI References",
in "Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI): Generic Syntax" [1]:

   A relative reference that does not begin with a scheme name or a
   slash character is termed a relative-path reference.

      rel_path      = rel_segment [ abs_path ]

      rel_segment   = 1*( unreserved | escaped |
                          ";" | "@" | "&" | "=" | "+" | "$" | "," )

   Within a relative-path reference, the complete path segments "." and
   ".." have special meanings: "the current hierarchy level" and "the
   level above this hierarchy level", respectively.  Although this is
   very similar to their use within Unix-based filesystems to indicate
   directory levels, these path components are only considered special
   when resolving a relative-path reference to its absolute form
   (Section 5.2).

   Authors should be aware that a path segment which contains a colon
   character cannot be used as the first segment of a relative URI path
   (e.g., "this:that"), because it would be mistaken for a scheme name.
