Subject: Re: OTA Tag name rules

Are there advocates for this practice on ebXML?

Is there anyone on the list privy to these discussions?

    (1)  What is the "context or hierarchy" involved that can't be expressed
by more typical nested containment?

    (2) Why can't the "context or hierarchy" be expressed in DTDs as opposed
to schemas?

    (3) Why put the "context or hierarchy" in the element names?

Thanks in advance.
