All, while looking at the new OASIS WSS specs and the new functionality described I figured out that we have to deal with new namespace URIs again. The namespace URIs shown in the specs are provisional URIs - they will change for the real finished version of the specs.
Currently we provide some backward compatibility for old WSS specs. This is cumbersome and error prone. In addition it is not fully implemented because some backward compatibility issues are not really solved. When we are going to introduce new namespace URIs we will get even more problems. Also this backward compatibility complicates the code. I would like to get rid of these code elements. We should point out that these old namespaces were _never_ a real standard. I would propose that for the next version we - support only the OASIS V1.0 specs and the relevant namespaces. - add the provisional namespaces for the upcoming version After the next version of the WSS specs is finished, we do one release with the provisional namespaces and another release (with a new release number) with the then fixed namespace URIs. Doing so we could save a lot of coding while retaining some backward compatibility using a n-1 release. Any ideas? Anyone around that requires the old namespaces?
