Re: [Minutes] 14 Apr 2003 TAG teleconf (... namespaceDocument-8)

Paul,
Do you have a link for the "US Govt namespace recommendation" mentioned 
below and at [1]?

The DoD has the DoD XML Registry [2], which has recently placed access 
restrictions so documents may not be generally available anymore.  They 
have a concept of "namespaces", which refers to communities of 
interest.  For example, Aerospace Operations (AOP) is one namespace, which 
had published some guidelines [3].  At one point they were considering 
using URNs, then were considering registering a new URI scheme 
"xmlns".  Based on [4], they are reconsidering this approach.  They are 
monitoring the W3C TAG for guidance.

I'll see what I can chase down regarding any policy statements for URL or 
URNs in namespace URIs.
