If we changing names anyway, should we put "xml" into the name?

"rdf12-xml-syntax" (there are several possibilities)

I believe that there’s some standard infrastructure that handles version numbers in shortnames, so that “n-triples” would end up refering to our spec, and “n-triples11” would (magically) refer to the 1.1 version.

If we changing names anyway, lets go for one style.

Either a prefix of "rdf12-" generally:

rdf12-n-triples? Or rdf12-ntriples?

or postfixed "rdf-concepts-12"


It's
/xpath-functions-3/ and /xpath-functions-31/
with redirect from /xpath-functions/

but
/xmlschema11-1/, /xmlschema11-2/

Yes.

I prefer rdf12- as a general grouping style but if the infrastructure 
imposes a convention that might be better.

We could even have

TR/rdf12-FOO

redirect to /FOO12

The current SPARQL specs are "sparq11-*" except "rdf-sparql-XMLres"

"sparq11-xml-results" would work (if it gets revised)
