Our CDL parser implementation is complete and is able to successfully pass all the test cases.

But we still have some questions about “import with namespaces” part of the spec.

As per the specs the namespace should be applied only to the toplevel element under cdl:configuration. This can cause problems during reference value resolutions. For now we are ignoring the namespaces during the lookup but this will cause problems in complex cases where there may be multiple imports and elements with the same name.

My take is that normal XML namespace scoping rules should be applied - the namespace declaration should explicitly be applied to the top element and to all elements within the content of that element.
