Subject: inherited attribute values in a DITA relationship table


In the DITA 1.1 Architecture Spec, on page 21 toward the end of the section on “Inheritance of attributes and metadata” it says:

 

            Tables can be particularly useful for attribute and metadata management, since they

can be applied to entire columns or rows as well as individual cells.

 

Elements within a cell inherit default attribute values much as the same elements outside of a table.  And within a table the order of inheritance goes from elements in a relcell to the relcell to the relrow to the reltable and then on up to the map element.  What isn’t clear is where inheritance by column (relcolspec) fits into the above list and how conflicts between relrow and relcell values are resolved.

 

We need to figure out the answer and make it clear in the spec.
