[QTI] XML namespaces and backwards compatibility

Hi All,

The XML namespace used by QTI has changed between version 2.0 and the
2.1 draft (from http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imsqti_v2p0.xsd to
http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imsqti_v2p1).

Is this really intentional? XML namespaces generally shouldn't change
between compatible revisions of a specification. As it stands, QTI 2.0
will not be compatible with tools that are namespace-aware and expect
QTI 2.1.

Dan.
