Subject: [Geopriv] clarification on a proposal for <provided-by>

The following is a clarification for my proposal for <provided-by>:

This element should contain an unbounded sequence of elements in other 
namespaces from a schema perspective.  It would look like this:

     <sequence>
       <any
         namespace="##other"
         processContents="skip"
         minOccurs="1"
         maxOccurs="unbounded" />
     </sequence>

The allowed namespaces will be governed by an IANA registry.  IANA will 
accept registration of any namespace URI upon approval of expert 
reviewers.  This registry will be initially populated with the 
namespace URI for NENA via an appendix in the PIDF-LO RFC.

This has the following advantage:
    1) provided-by information for an international environment or 
environments for nations other than NENA may be added
    2) interpretation of the provided-by information is much more 
specific allowing better interoperability
    3) the can be more than one set of provided-by information
    4) new sets of information go through a review process to insure 
they do not violate the spirit of GEOPRIV

Comments?
