Error in namespace application

The XML Encoding specification - http://www.w3.org/community/odrl/two/xml/ -
defines in 2.

 

The Namespace =  <http://w3.org/ns/odrl/2> http://w3.org/ns/odrl/2 

 

Then this section says:

. A single URI will represent each of the terms in the Common Vocabulary
created by appending the term identifier with the ODRL Core Model XML
Namespace. . For example, the Play action would be represented as:
<http://w3.org/ns/odrl/2/play> http://w3.org/ns/odrl/2/play

 

Following the rule of the first sentence the example is wrong: the URI will
be http://w3.org/ns/odrl/2play 

as there is no slash at the end of the namespace URI (or at the start of the
term) - what the IPTC considers as an error.

If the rule is that full URIs can be easily created from appending the term
to the namespace URI the ns URI should end with separator like / or #.
