Hi Paul,
This looks like a good way to sanitize the proliferation
of meanings for these attributes.
Some comments (which I've already sent you privately,
but I'm repeating here to foster some comment from others):
- An empty @href is a valid URI (it tends to mean
the base directory, by default the one that contains the current document).
The proposed wording doesn't say that empty @href is special, so
the default meaning should still apply. This isn't how DITA-OT handles
empty @hrefs, which it assumes are the same as absent @hrefs. (I
think that DITA-OT does this to facilitate handling of <topichead>.)
Is DITA-OT off-spec, or is there a reason to define empty @href specially
in the DITA spec?
- @longdescref getting @...scope and @...type brethren:
Is this the right direction to go? Is it better to move the longdesc
to an element and give it the standard @href, @scope, @format and @type
attributes? There was apparently discussion about this at this week's
TC teleconference.
- map/@anchorref and navref/@mapref: I don't even
know if these are URI-references, whether they have fragment suffixes or
not, or whether they are something else entirely. If they are URI-ish,
then now is a good time to pin down their format. Can anyone who
uses them speak on their behalf?
Thanks again for putting together such a thorough
document.
