Francis,  Thanks again.  Taking a quick look at the schemas, I'm inclined to use the 'reference' version as an example, because if anyone actually followed things up, they would find tag names that are less cryptic.

I'll plan on doing a next draft, taking into account the feedback so far, sometime next week.  

    Caroline

After a further exchange with Graham I think that, if we wish to include an ONIX example, we should use 'application/xml' for the media type. We can use the same URI for both namespace and relationship type, so either 'http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference' or 'http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/short', depending upon which tag set we choose to use.

Francis,

Thank you very much!

A specialized media type for ONIX would make sense if there is some special processing (such as ONIX fragment identifiers). 

So far, in OOXML,  URIs for namespace names and those for relationship types are different.  But I do not see strong reasons for separating them.  
Namespace names should be changed only for intentionally destroy existing application programs for new data.  When should we change relationship names?  Probably,when we would like to prohibit existing OOXML applications from accessing new parts.  Then, it might be a good idea to use the same URI.

I don't think that namespace names or relationship types have to be resolved.  They are just names.  Thus, I don't think that performance is an issue.

Regards,
Makoto
