The first sentence in the namespace section explains that this is exactly how I use prefixed abbreviations here.

In this case, they would look something like I did suggest separatee symbol spaces some time ago in an ealier mail, resp it was like that on the syntax proposals... with the addition that - if we have a separate symbol space - why then do we need a keyword "External"? If we had separate symbol spaces, I think this sufficiently designates builtins syntactically. > "isLong"^^rif:predicate > > > --michael > >> DTB is ready for review, slightly delayed: >> >> http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wiki/DTB >> >> At least, it should be - although not officially part of the published >> working drafts in this round - be stablilized to comply mostly with the >> definitions in FLD and BLD concerning external schemas. >> >> This also completes ACTION-292 >> "Put links for each builtin to Xquery source URI" >> >> best, >> Axel -- Dr. Axel Polleres, Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI) email: axel.polleres@deri.org url: http://www.polleres.net/ rdfs:Resource owl:differentFrom xsd:anyURI .
