---++ <a name="Rationale"></a>Rationale

The example responses show ssa: prefix utypes, however this is not currently specified in the normative text. Validators for SSA do require the ssa: prefix on utypes. This erratum will add a statement on the ssa: utype prefix to section 2.11.

---++ <a name="Erratum_Content"></a>Erratum Content

This erratum makes the following changes:

At the end of the first paragraph in section 2.11, add the following sentence:

<blockquote>
All UTYPEs defined in this document should be presented with a namespace of "ssa:".
</blockquote>

---++ <a name="Impact_Assessment"></a>Impact Assessment

Validators such as PADC already require the ssa prefix. This erratum will make the namespace requirement clear to implementers.
