Hi,

in reponse to the action point from the Dublin meeting
I include the following.


(3) RIDs
The definition of IDL Repository IDs the example in 
the IFR chapter 7.6.6 (and not the definition ch. 7.6.1)
indicates that prefixes when not set are not
separated.  The definition says that "typically" 
it is the prefix and scoped name seperated with "/".  But
does not explicitly say which of the two in the following example
is correct.

Example 

//IDL
module MoneyFor {
	interface Nothing {
		void do_something();
	};
};


The RID for interface could be:

	"IDL:/MoneyFor/Nothing"

rather than what current spec's examples would indicate:

	"IDL:MoneyFor/Nothing"


The first one is unambiguous; MoneyFor is not a prefix.
