Re: [dita] DITA 1.1: No abbrev for abbrevlist?

[Robert D Anderson <robander@us.ibm.com>]

Hi Scott,

You're right that there is not really a way to generate the list of
abbreviations. At this point, if you want one, you'll need to just create a
topic and point to it with the <abbrevlist> element. This can be done for
any of the list types, actually.

If you specialize an <abbrev> element, or if OASIS adds one in the next
go-round, then it would be possible to start generating the list for
bookmap.

Does that make sense?
