At F2F5, we were discussing what namespace to use for RIF and I
mistakenly suggested that it was administratively easier to use
"http://www.w3.org/2007/01/rif#" than "http://www.w3.org/2007/rif#".
TimBL, as W3C Director, encourages us to use the later.
So, unless someone objects (probably today), I'll change the appendix in
the rif-core draft, before publication, to have the namespace be
"http://www.w3.org/2007/rif#".
The only reason I can think of to stick with using "01" in this draft is
if we expect to change the namespace name before the end of the year.
We would want to do that if, for instance, we had an established user
base using one namespace and needed the standard to support them while
also supporting a new user base. That seems extremely unlikely -- we
are not committed to provide stability until we get to Rec, and it's
quite unlikely we'll be working on an incompatible alternative, also
called "rif", in 2007, after Rec. And if we are, we could always call
it ...2007/12/rif or ...2007/rif2# or something.
