I think (but I'm not 100% sure about this) that the "library:" is just a co=
nvention for a namespace associated with a SWC. But this convention allows =
the sole "http:" namespace to stand out as the language namespace that indi=
cates the use of MXML 2006 vs. MXML 2009, which I think is nice.

In general, XML namespaces are not expected to map to web pages.

HI,

> http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009 -> http://ns.apache.com/mxml/2012=20
> library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark ->=20
> library://ns.apache.com/flex/spark
> library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx -> library://ns.apache.com/flex/mx

Probably better to use "flex.apache.com/ns"  rather than "ns.apache.com" as=
 once we incubate we'll have access to "flex.apache.com" but not "apache.co=
m". While not essential I think it nice if the URIs map to real web page.

I assume it would be possible to have both namespaces coexisting for a whil=
e as it's just a mapping between uri's and manifest files in flex-config.xm=
l.

BTW any reason the newer namespace have "library:" rather than "http:"?

Thanks,
Justin
