Right? I think so. Or do we want to qualify feature types by the name of their store? Given that we qualify by namespace today it might make more sense to make them workspace unique.

I guess for now we just continue with the way things are using namespace, and since namespace is 1-1 to a workspace, we can continue to ride that assumption. When we have resource-pub, we deprecate the getResourceByName methods which take a namespace, and change them to take a workspace. > > Boys, this incomplete data/publishing split is giving > me a headache ;) > Your not the only one ;). I have been working toward implementing the proposal that was done up a while back... work is slow going though.
