namespace and identifier seem to be part of MD_Identifier. Have it more clear that this is a semantic distinguishing only, but storing is in element code only.

We had this shown in a much clearer way in a former draft (based on v055)

The Unique resource identifier semantically consisting of

namespace: https://example.org/

and identifier: ab749859

and is provided together in element code: https://example.org/ab749859

There is a strong need to validate service metadata that uses GML 3.2.1 elements instead of GML 3.2.0 elements (as used in http://schemas.opengis.net/iso/19139/20060504/srv/). We are aware of the GML 3.2.0 / 3.2.1 problem in the metadata application schemas as discussed e.g. in https://github.com/inspire-eu-validation/ats-metadata/issues/95.

We support the suggested solution and highly recommend that JRC should host updated schemas for the SRV namespace and an adopted ISO AP schema.

The IR Requirement for providing both the code and and the code space has been interpreted as integrated parts of a single URI character string.

Technical Guidance for INSPIRE Discovery Services, version 3.1, http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/documents/Network_Services/TechnicalGuidance_DiscoveryServices_v3.1.pdf

The INSPIRE multiplicity shall be described consistenly in all Requirements as listed in Annex C: INSPIRE metadata element catalog.

If URI is accessable till publication of the document nothing has to be done, if not state shall be described in e.g. footer.
