That makes sense.

I must admit that one motivation for making schema packages is to get 
versions that have not been subject to the firm hand of our resident 
schema hacker.  :-)

I have been using the domain name of the third party. This is naughty 
for the same reason I should be using our scm location not theirs: the 
package is my interpretation of the schema suite.

I was trying to avoid tying these packages to geotools, but their 
correctness is defined in terms of their use by geotools, so it would 
probably be better for me to make this explicit by using our groupId.

Thanks, Jody, for your thoughtful advice.

Kind regards,
