The v1.0 spec says the namespace for dfdl ends with a trailing slash.
This is non-standard at least inconsistent with the XML Schema namespace identifiers, whose URIs do not end with a slash.
Do we want to take an errata and be conformant with XML Schema conventions here?
I think the world is not fully consistent on this. There are online discussions about some SOAP-protocol related URIs having trailing slash.
Unfortunately, this matters because things that compare XML carefully will distinguish a namespace having a trailing slash, and not having one. The rules of comparison require detecting this difference.
