/ "Bob Stayton" <> was heard to say:
| 8. DocBook namespaces.
|
| A DocBook namespace is needed for version 5. We want a stable,
| nonchanging name. The Committee agreed that
| it would apply to the family of DocBook
| schemas, including Simplified DocBook and customizations.
| The name would not contain a version number.
|
| The OASIS naming rules are not yet adopted, so Norm proposed
| using "http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" as the namespace name.
| There is some precedent for using a non-OASIS URI.
I recall calling the question:
Shall we adopt "http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" as the namespace name
for DocBook V5.0
and obtaining uninimous consent, but that is not clearly reflected in
these minutes. Bob, could you please make a note for next month's
agenda that when we adopt these minutes, we mean to adopt them as
amended above. (If, in fact, the committee as a whole shares my
personal recollection.)
Be seeing you,
norm
