This is a corner case, hard to be sure about -- the REC was actually contradictory as it stood, with one clause specifying one form, and another clause a conflicting form. In that case, there are _no_ non-breaking fixes, at least in principle, and we went with what we believed was the majority of existing usage in practice -- are you aware of any _deployed_ schemas using the --MM-- form? On balance I support the judgement call that this change should not have resulted in a namespace change -- the REC was (by accident) contradictory, we agreed what we meant, we've brought the REC into line with that agreement. ht -- Henry S.
