Description

In order to use Blueprint in Eclipse OSGi environment, I have to use Apache Aries, because the *.xml defined in OSGI-INF/blueprint requires namespace handler from Apache Aries. I cannot use Eclipse's Blueprint implementation Gemini. Can these *.xml defined in a way implementation neutral? So that, if somebody uses Karaf/Felix, they prefer Apache Aries; somebody else uses Eclipse Equinox, they prefer Gemini.

For example, osgiservlet.xml relines on
xmlns:cm="http://aries.apache.org/blueprint/xmlns/blueprint-cm/v1.0.0"

<blueprint xmlns="http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/blueprint/v1.0.0"
           xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
           xmlns:cm="http://aries.apache.org/blueprint/xmlns/blueprint-cm/v1.0.0"

           xsi:schemaLocation="
            http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/blueprint/v1.0.0 http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/blueprint/v1.0.0/blueprint.xsd">

I originally had a research to bring in CXF into Eclipse Equinox which causes a lot of struggle, see http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/687219/.
