RE: namespaceDocument-8: What should a "namespace document" look like?

Dan:



> RESOLVED to do as proposed.



You quoted this text which is then followed in the minutes by the following:



Noah: One interpretation of this is that Henry will do it and we'll review it again, another is that Henry will just ship it.



DanC: If it's good enough for Henry, Stuart, and Norm, then it's good enough for the reest of the TAG.



To an outsider, it is not obvious whether Noah’s or your view is the end of the story.



And if it is resolved then where is the Finding?

It's not teetering on the brink; it's resolved:



"PROPOSED: to address editorial comments, e.g. purpose label, skw's

comments on rddl informal ontology capturing, and publish as a TAG

finding



RESOLVED to do as proposed."
