Use one of the following categories:
F (Critical correction)
A (corresponds to a correction in an earlier
release)
B (Addition of feature),
C (Functional modification of feature)
D (Editorial modification)

Detailed explanations of the above categories can
be found in the TC Policies and Procedures.

Reason for change:

 The GML 3.2.1 release notes lists a deferred enhancement which is also
referenced in the GML SWG charter. The SWG should reconsider the proposal.

Summary of change:  A change into a multipart standards was proposed in the ISO standardization
process, but had been rejected for that version due to the significant delay
because of the procedural issues involved (proposals of new work items in ISO,
etc.). In the preparation of the next version, a change into a multipart standard
should be reconsidered.
Such a change seems to be very appropriate for several reasons:
- the current single part and single namespace approach complicates
versioning and the related XML Schema management issues
- the copy and edit approach to GML profiles not working due to XML Schema
issues
- reduce perceived complexity of GML
Consequences if

not approved:

 The issues mentioned above will continue to hinder adoption of GML
