Title: The Consumer 
should not strip the namespace prefix from form parameters
Date Added:

Document Section:   
v0.85/9.3
Description:

"Quoting from the spec: ""If namespace 
encoding is used for form parameters or other data the entity receives as in 
markupParams, then the Consumer MUST strip the namespace prefix from the 
parameter names before passing them to the Producer"".
believe the Consumer 
should not do this for two reasons:
1. It now means that the Consumer has to 
understand the uploadData and recognize one of the mime types, specifically 
application/x-www-form-urlencoded. This is definitely not generic.
2. The 
Producer will anyway have to understand namespace prefixing, including using it 
in JavaScript client code, so its not that big of a chore for the Producer to do 
this (for example, by adding another form parameter which includes the prefix 
code)."
