Subject: Revised proposal for DITA-unique additions to Exchange table
This proposal represents the changes required to bring the stock Exchange table model into functional equivalence for DITA processing with the CALS-based model that we have voted to replace.
New for this revision: added %id-atts; to <entry>; revised the @pgwidth description. Moved the structure discussion to the front.
STRUCTURE:
Introduce the DITA-unique <desc> element (optional after <title>); this element
enables more consistent presentation of both figures and tables.
ATTRIBUTES:
For the <table> element, add:
%univ-atts; which consists of:
%select-atts; [for selection, conditional processing]
%id-atts; [for conref and linking]
@translate + @xml:lang) [for NLS processing support]
%global-atts; (@xtrf + @xtrc) [for tracing and messaging support in processors]
@class [for specialization support]
@outputclass [for role designation (ie, styles, future migrations)]
@rowheader [for accessibility support in processing]
%display-atts; which consists of:
@scale [for presentational equivalence with other scaled
exhibits: fig, pre, lines, simpletable]
@frame (already part of table)
@pgwidth (already part of table, same intent as original @explanse)
(NOTE: should @pgwidth be applied to the other contexts as well?
besides table, this would affect fig, pre, lines, simpletable)
For <tgroup>, <thead>, <tbody>, and <row>, add:
%univ-atts;
%global-atts;
@class
@outputclass [for role designation (ie, styles, future migrations)]
For <entry>, add:
%id-atts;
%global-atts
@class
@outputclass [for role designation (ie, styles, future migrations)]
@rev [for indication of revised content for flag-based processing]
