- Request by Paul Grosso, Hazardstatement Width

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200902/msg00029.html

We do not see any necessity to warn users or even to avoid that an author specifies a bigger hazardsymbol width then the available space.

But we recommend that the Stylesheets in the DITA Open Toolkit will specify a maximum or default value for the with of Hazardsymbols to ensure that the rendering of a Hazardstatement will fulfil the recommendations of the ANSI standard for Hazardstatements.

- Architecture spec 
It is a map required for machineindustry, containing 3 topic as a start

* An introduction topic

* hazardstatement topic

* task requirements topic

 We recommend to create similar maps for other industry areas e.g. software.

 Chris is going to make this proposal to Joseph Gershon 

- DITA 1.3, proposals - ideas

 Comparison XML - Proposal vs. S1000D 

http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita-machine-industry/document.php?document_id=31023

We see advantages on both ways and are looking for a combined solution.

- main preferred structure form S1000D with using the attributes

- add conditional attributes for si-value and us-value

- adding the <datatype> element from Wolfgang Zieglers Proposal

- adding the <techdata> wrapper element from Wolfgang Zieglers proposal

Chris will create an example based on these decisions for the next meeting
