RE: [wsrf] New issue: Avoid use of "wsrp" for namespace prefix of shorthand for WS-ResourceProperties

Even though it may be non-normative, it is always good to avoid generating
confusion when one can.

I do not understand this request; the namespace prefix is non-normative in
the specifications and anyone can and will change it to whatever they need.
Are we trying to standardize prefixes?

Special request from the Web Service for Remote Portlets TC, who have a
prior claim to "WSRP" as an acronym.

We could consider changing all our namespace prefixes to wsrf-rp, wsrf-rl
etc and including "WSRF-RP" etc as the abbreviated form of the specification
name in the introductions of each spec to start to train people not to say
"WSRP" when they mean "WS-ResourceProperties".

Ian
