[x3d-public] considering general conversion of metadata

[Don Brutzman]

We are discussing "considering general conversion of metadata" on today's CAD call.

Reference of interest:

	Namespaces in XML 1.0 (Third Edition)
	https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names

Of specific interest regarding how namespaces are not allowed to collide:

==============================================
https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/#uniqAttrs

6.3 Uniqueness of Attributes

Namespace constraint: Attributes Unique

In XML documents conforming to this specification, no tag may contain two attributes which:

     have identical names, or

     have qualified names with the same local part and with prefixes which have been bound to namespace names that are identical.

This constraint is equivalent to requiring that no element have two attributes with the same expanded name.

[...]
==============================================

all the best, Don
