I just thoroughly read GFD.084, and it seems the require the following
For the base schema:
   http://schemas.ogf.org/nml/2012/10/nml

For subordinate schema:
   http://schemas.ogf.org/nml/2012/10/ethernet

Thus not:
   http://schemas.ogf.org/nml/2012/10/base


Furthermore, GFD.84 defines the schema without appending character, thus
as "http://schemas.ogf.org/nml/2012/10/nml".

I am under the impression that e.g. the definition of "Node" in that
schema would then become "http://schemas.ogf.org/nml/2012/10/nmlNode",
hence that it is common to append a namespace with either a "#" or a
"/", so it becomes ""http://schemas.ogf.org/nml/2012/10/nml#Node" or
"http://schemas.ogf.org/nml/2012/10/nml/Node" respectively.


I don't care what the result is, but like to move forward and dont want
to change this after OGF last call. I'm going to ask the Area Director
for advice, but don't want to wait too long for a reply. So, if someone
is knowledgeable about this sort of stuff, please stand up and enlighten us.
