Issue - 105 - XML namespaces used in spec and examples need to be defined
Status: open

Area: Technology concepts

Date added: 17 Mar 2004

Submitter: Ron Ten-Hove

Date submitted: 16 March 2004

Description: The specification, including examples, makes use of various XML prefixes 
without always clearly defining them. This has lead to some confusion 
during discussions on the [wsbpel-implement] list, and will doubtless 
confuse some readers of the final specification if this is not addressed 
in some fashion.

Submitter's proposal: A possible solution is to include a table of prefixes used within the 
document, and the name space URIs to which they are assigned, in the 
introductory material at the beginning of the specification (perhaps 
section 2, Notational Conventions). (This has become a common practice 
in other XML-based specifications that make use of multiple XML name 
spaces.)
