- This is probably more of a comment to the core schema spec, but for a similar reason, in my problem domain it's very convenient to be able to talk about a particular namespace. But the schema spec lacks a component that corresponds to such concept right now. Originally raised in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-schema-wg/2006Aug/0016.html by Kohsuke Kawaguchi <Kohsuke.Kawaguchi@Sun.COM> For example, a JAXB user would often like to say "please generate classes into the org.acme.foo package from this namespace". Since a namespace is often used to group a set of components, I suspect this is not unique to my problem domain. For example, when you write some <xs:documentation>s for, say, the DocBook namespace, your intention is probably for that documentation to apply just to the DocBook namespace, as opposed to the schema-as-a-whole component, as implied by the current spec.
During today's call, the Working Group decided against taking action on this issue, and to close it with the disposition WONTFIX. That means that we do not expect any change in the 1.1 spec to address the concern raised here. (In view of the tight time frame, this decision may be reopened and revisited on next week's call.) Accordingly, I'm marking this issue as resolved. Kohsuke Kawaguchi, as the originator of this issue, will be contacted by email.
