[udm-dev] udm_ns2 status

Endre,
I've tested udm_ns on Biocomp.
It broke almost every project in it because of modified xsd name creation
method. (e.g. it was sbml.xsd, now it is SBML2Ex_sbml.xsd)
As far as I see, you made this design decision in order to support namespace
contained xmls and non namespace equipped xmls in the same time.
So, I modified the headers of all our Biocomp related xmls and modified the
source code in order to make it compatible with udm_ns2 an it works.
I also needed to fix the URI namespace name mapping mechanism in udm_ns2.
This change affected several files checked in VSS/udm_ns2,
So, please be careful if you work offline.

I would say udm_ns2 is OK with Biocomp now.

Thanks,
zsot
