<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Hello,</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I started</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> this question actually over on the MapGuide Enterprise list at discussion.autodesk.com</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> and just got signed up on this list.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> Dave brought it to this list.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I realize that an XML namespace does not have to actually resolve to a valid</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">URI and that it really just creates a unique name. That</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> being the case, why was so much effort taken to create a name that appears at first glance to</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">be a valid URI</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">that</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">‘</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">might</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">’</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> reference the schema definition</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">when a much simpler name could have been generated?</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">The main reason I ask the question, is that</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri"></FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">as someone deploying a MG installation, I prefer to underst</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">and the workings for possible optimization off of the default settings and the actual schema</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">reference material seems inordinately difficult to find</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> both at the OSGEO level and at Autodesk. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Regards,</FONT></SPAN></P>
