    Mark,
    
    This isn't a correction so much as a clarification. Assuming that Bill's
    versioning proposal is accepted (and it seems like a no-brainer), we
    need to be clear about which old namespaces must be imported when
    creating a new version with a new namespace. Arofan's mail describes
    this in more detail; basically there was some uncertainty as to whether
    (say) UBL v1.2 need import only UBL v1.1 (which in turn imports UBL
    v1.0), or whether both UBL v1.0 and UBL v1.1 must be imported in order
    to have access to all names.
    
    It appears from the schema spec that the latter is the case. This is IMO
    a bug in the spec since there should be a way to specify that when a
    namespace is imported it "brings with it" some or all of the namespaces
    that it imports (I think this is most important specifically in the case
    of versioning). But if I start lamenting the shortcomings of XML Schema
    this will be a very long mail indeed. We will just have to document this
    and live with it.
