Re: 2007/rif vs 2007/01/rif

Sandro and al.,

I jump on this discussion because more and more namespace no more use the date

See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2006Aug/0081.html

Here is the summary http://www.w3.org/2005/07/13-nsuri

As XBL (http://www.w3.org/ns/xbl), WSDL (http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl),
EARL (http://www.w3.org/ns/earl#) and so on

That's also the case for ISO DSDL

NVDL (http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/nvdl/ns/structure/1.0), etc...

Is is possible to consider this change ?

Regards,

Mohamed
