Subject: RE: [dita-help] Current best practices for context hooks
At PTC Arbortext, we use the resourceid in topics to hold our context hooks. The stylesheet passes the value in the resourceid to the published HTML, and the product grabs the right topic based on that value. Regards.

SDL has some clients who cannot wait for DITA 1.3; any current best practices that we should practice?

You will probably recall that the Help Subcommittee was established to make recommendations for 1.3; it wasn't anticipated that 1.3 would be so far away. So far, we have proposals for spec changes to better handle context hooks, and window definitions. We have discussed in the past the possibility of a specialisation for integrated or embedded user assistance content. There has been some negative feedback from the community about the perceived complexity of 1.2, with new information types, constrained versions of some types, and a (perceived) mushrooming in the number of elements. My feeling is that the context hook and window definitions should be built into the base content model. My feeling is that we should not have a specialised information type for UA, mainly because I don't think the community is demanding such a thing. What do you all think?
