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)

Reason for change:

 All OGC-approved XML Schema Documents (.xsd files) are now stored where
they can be accessed using two different base URLs, namely
http://schemas.opengis.net/ and http://schemas.opengeospatial.net/. This use of
two different base URLs to reference the same files is sometimes confusing.

Summary of change:  Change the base URLs that can be used to access all OGC-approved XML

Schema Documents (.xsd files) so that only http://schemas.opengis.net/ can be
used.
Consequences if
not approved:

 Continued confusion due to same OGC-approved XML Schema Documents
(.xsd files) being accessible using two different base URLs.
