Description Michael Kay 2007-11-19 12:38:10 UTC
In general, defaults defined on the xs:schema element follow the convention that the default for the xxx attribute is named xxxDefault. So the default for the xpathDefaultNamespace attribute should be named xpathDefaultNamespaceDefault rather than defaultXPathDefaultNamespace.

However, I think that a more usable name for the attribute would be xpathDefaultNamespace.
Comment 1 David Ezell 2008-01-25 16:50:32 UTC
WG agrees to change the name to xpathDefaultNamespace
Comment 2 C. M. Sperberg-McQueen 2008-02-04 16:17:23 UTC
In an effort to make better use of Bugzilla, we are going to use the
'severity' field to classify issues by perceived difficulty.  This 
bug is getting severity=minor to reflect the existing whiteboard note
'easy'. 
Comment 3 C. M. Sperberg-McQueen 2008-02-05 02:32:11 UTC
A wording proposal for this issue (among others) was sent to the XML
Schema WG on 4 February 2008.

http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/06/xmlschema-1/structures.consent.200802.html (member-only link)

For some issues, the proposal is effectively to make no change;
see the Status section of the proposal for the specifics.
Comment 4 C. M. Sperberg-McQueen 2008-02-08 23:24:48 UTC
During its telcon today, the XML Schema WG accepted the 'Structures
Omnibus 2' proposal, which includes changes intended to resolve this
issue.  (Or, for some issues, contains the editors' proposal that the
issue should be closed without further changes.)

Accordingly, I'm marking the issue resolved.

The originator of this issue (or in some cases the individual,
acting on behalf of a group, who filed the comment) should receive 
an email notification of this change.

Please examine the changes and let us know if you agree with this
resolution of your issue, by adding a comment to the issue record and
changing the Status of the issue to Closed. Or, if you do not agree
with this resolution, please add a comment explaining why. If you wish
to appeal the WG's decision to the Director, then also change the
Status of the record to Reopened. If you wish to record your dissent,
but do not wish to appeal the decision to the Director, then change
the Status of the record to Closed. If we do not hear from you in the
next two weeks, we will assume you agree with the WG decision.
