[I] Don't rev namespace with each release [maven-assembly-plugin]

["elharo (via GitHub)" <gi...@apache.org>]

elharo opened a new issue, #1272:
URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-assembly-plugin/issues/1272

   ### Affected version
   
   HEAD and many previous versions
   
   ### Bug description
   
   The current setup is creating new namespaces for each release. E.g. 
   
   ```
       https://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-2.2.0.xsd, https://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-component-2.2.0.xsd (for version 3.6.0 and higher)
       https://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-2.1.1.xsd, https://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-component-2.1.1.xsd (for version 3.4.0 and higher)
       https://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-2.1.0.xsd, https://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-component-2.1.0.xsd (for version 3.2 and higher)
       https://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-2.0.0.xsd, https://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-component-2.0.0.xsd (for version 3.0 and higher)
       https://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-1.1.3.xsd, https://maven.apache.org/xsd/component-1.1.3.xsd (for version 2.5.4 and higher)
       https://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-1.1.2.xsd, https://maven.apache.org/xsd/component-1.1.2.xsd (for version 2.2 and higher)
       https://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-1.1.1.xsd, https://maven.apache.org/xsd/component-1.1.1.xsd (for version 2.2-beta-4 - 2.2-beta-5)
       https://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-1.1.0.xsd, https://maven.apache.org/xsd/component-1.1.0.xsd (for version 2.2-beta-1 - 2.2-beta-3)
       https://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-1.0.0.xsd, https://maven.apache.org/xsd/component-1.0.0.xsd (for version 2.1 and lower)
   ```
   
   I don't think that's a complete list, just what we currently document. This is not the purpose or intent of XML namespaces. Namespaces are not versions, and this approach breaks a lot of XML processing chains based on XPath, XQuery, XInclude, JDOM and/or XSLT among many others. There should be a single namespace that doesn't change unless we really redo everything from scratch with a new vocabulary.
