The XML:TM and the GMXV standards were approved last week. 4.3 Review Christian Lieske's article on XML, DITA, and Translation requirements. Committee members believe that we have addressed all the requirements except for the Ruby attribute. We decided to table this attribute for now until there is clear evidence that it is needed by people authoring in Japanese in DITA. 4.4 Discussion of new issues to explore for the committee going forward. Andrzej proposed we develop a best practice for acronyms and recommendation for DITA elements for marking up acronyms. Andrzej will prepare an initial statement for the TC to get the issue on the 1.2 issues list. ACTION Rodolfo is still interesting in drafting a best practice for using XLIFF to translate DITA topics. Committee members discussed a possible best practice for indexing. Consideration of including the <sortorder> attribute in all index lists to enable translators to affect the sort order for languages that do not sort according to standard EN rules. --Meeting adjourned at 9:00--
