RE: NEW ISSUE: use RDDL instead of XML Schema at the namespace URI?

Yes, though I don't think a "this version" RDDL link is very useful.  I
was thinking "latest version", "2006-01-01 version", "2005-10-01
version", "2005-07-01 version", etc.

This proposal doesn't cover what other links we might put in the RDDL,
though I think it should at least point to the spec(s) defining the
namespace, the schema(s) for the namespace.  If we want to put in links
to related specs that's fine, but they need to be given appropriate
roles (a link to the "02" namespace asserting it's a schema for the "03"
namespace would be a lie.)
