Title: RE: [xml-dev] A good case for namespace URIs
The point is that the schema DOES exist - I know because a kind benefactor from this list sent it to me - and given a pretty sensible place to put it, it seems a waste not to use it.
Perhaps what this does prove is that mailto:xml-dev@lists.xml.org is possibly a convenient, all embracing namespace URI to get what you need to go on with your work, if you can live with asynchronous communication.

Well, I must say that I don't know govtalk at all, so for me, the fact that
http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CR/core is not referenced anywhere in the Govtalk
schema documentation is rather strange. That's the real problem, not the
fact that resolving the schema URI gives a 404. I don't think this proves
anything.

This is a good namespace URI, too ;).
From there you promptly get to
http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/interoperability/draftschema.asp , and from there
to hundreds of pages of schema documentation.
... none of which appears to use the namespace
http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CR/core (unless you strike lucky). Which rather
proves John Anderson's original point.

Objet : [xml-dev] A good case for namespace URIs
I've just hit a problem which would seem to present a very strong case for
*using* namespace URIs (maybe even with RDDL), at least until some formal
spec comes along. And I'd be pretty confident I'm not the only one.
I am trying to develop some stuff against the UK govtalk schemas, and they
reference elements and attributes in the http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CR/core
namespace.
Has anybody ever tried to find a schema describing this namespace on the
govtalk website? I spent hours yesterday. Wouldn't it have been really,
really nice if that URI didn't result in a 404. It would also be quite easy,
wouldn't even have to be a RDDL document - since everything is done in XSD,
just the schema would have been quite satisfactory. In fact, even a
not-valid-XML text document with all possible permutations of that namespace
(if they do the XHTML thing) would have been a good start.
I know there are all kinds of sound academic arguments for not doing this,
but in the meantime they prohibit a simple and very practical aid to my
work.
BTW, if anyone does have a copy of this schema, could they please send it to
me?
