So, if I do understand you correctly, then we have the options

a) to use namespace URLs (or maybe URNs, as in the past) which contain 
an "opendocument", and cannot be resolved.
b) to use a namespace URL which contains "office" rather "opendocument", 
which can be resolved.

The existing namespace names, which we have introduced in ODF 1.0 and 
which we still use for ODF 1.2 for compatibility reasons, actually are

urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:office:1.0, 
urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:meta:1.0

Would it also be an option to continue with this schema for new 
namespaces for consistency reasons?

Best regards

Michael
