Namespaces.XmlNamespace meaning

[mpostol]

I am trying to reuse partially the valuable outcome from this repository, e.g. mpostol/ASMD. My concern is what is the meaning of the Namespaces.XmlNamespac.

1. Is there someone using this element?
2. What is the difference between the Namespaces.XmlNamespac attribute and Namespaces value?
3. Is it used in any tool? Are there any best practice rules?
4. Is it useful in the model definition?
5. Is it useful for models (Namespaces internal elements) depended on?
6. Is there any description that may be referred to?

In the schema definition of the ModelDesign there is documentation partially answering this question (reformated and fixed some typos):

• Namespace - Defines a single namespace along with identifiers for the namespace
• Name - A symbolic name for the namespace that can be used as a variable name. The Name is used to create a program constant for the URL.
• Prefix - The .NET namespace used for the classes produced by the generator. The Prefix is the C# namespace that qualifies the generated types.
• InternalPrefix - The .NET namespace used for classes that are only used within a server application. The InternalPrefix is an optional C# namespace that qualifies the generated types used only by the server.
• XmlNamespace - The URI for the XML namespace to which the data types belong if it is different from the URI for the model namespace.
• XmlPrefix - The prefix to be used in the XML file for the XML namespace to which the data types belong. Used only XmlNamespace is set.
• FilePath - The path to the file containing the design file for the namespace.
• Version - no description
• PublicationDate - no description

According to the repository rules all feedback is applied to a private repository, hence I am no longer a willing helper to contribute to further development of the code. I am transferring this issue to my public fork mpostol#8 where the modification will be applied directly and available for the public immediately. Further questions and proposals - you may have - should be provided using the discussion panel of the fork or by adding comments to the mentioned issue. Let's work out it with you and for you.

Cloe it with wontfix reason.
