RE: MS-FO-LC1-003: URI given for Op prefix

Michael:

Thank you for your comment.  The F&O taskforce discussed this on
7/18/2003 and agreed to remove the namespace associated with the
operator functions identified by the op: prefix.

All the best, Ashok

Subject: MS-FO-LC1-003: URI given for Op prefix

 

Class: Editorial

 

In Section 1.7 Namespace Prefix it provides a URI to the op: prefix.

 

Problem: URI bound to op: prefix will require implementations to respect
the namespace (e.g. ensure users do not also use this namespace). If the
op: prefix is only to describe the functionality of the operators, it is
useless overhead to assign it a namespace. 

 

Proposed resolution: Remove the namespace URI and use a sentence to
indicate that the prefix is only used for definitional purposes (see for
example the fs prefix in the Formal semantics).
