Comments
EVALUATION his change went through CCC approval: 6267224: QName serialVersionUID change http://ccc.sfbay/6267224 as this is an intentional change to serialization behavior with CCC approval, I'm going to close the bug. see the CCC request for a discussion of compatibility. this change was actually done to preserve the most compatibility possible.
