Jervis,

http://www.xsume.com is owned by another company today.  (The website's
Terms of Service are dated March 2007, meaning the site is probably
quite new.)  I'm attaching a screen shot of what the site looks like in
case you can't see it.

I don't think we should be using xsume's URI.  After all, Apache
probably wouldn't be very happy if this company used Apache URI's for
its schemas.

I'd like us to use an Apache (or IONA, if you really wish to keep the
history) URI, *but*, if you wish, put a comment in the files or
someplace else crediting the XSume Toolspec name.  I'll add this into
the IssueTracker for others to comment.  (I can submit a patch, but I
would need someone to tell me what the new URI's should be.)

Regards,
Glen
