Subject: AW: [dita] MachineryTask Domain


 
Jeff,

thanks for your feedback and your input at the TC meeting. Yes indeed to
derive the machinerytask domain or to be precise the prelreq element on
section instead of prereq would highly increase the flexibility of using
this domain. 
E.g. if a company can not use even our generalized task for some reason and
would create their own new tasktype derived from topic.

The only disadvantage I currently see is the closereq element which has been
derived from our postreq element. But that is an unimportant minor part of
this domain specialization. So the advantage of deriving prelreq from
section might be worth the disadvantage to drop the closereq element from
this specialization.

But maybe I have overlooked an other issue.

If not I would support the idea to derive prelreq from section.

Best regards

Chris

Betreff: RE: [dita] MachineryTask Domain

It was me who asked.  In general I think making the domain more general is a
good idea. If that isn't done and someone wants something similar in another
topic type, they will be forced to create a new parallel domain. And that is
something to be avoided.

But having said the above, my concern and my question during yesterday's
call was based on a misunderstanding on my part which was straightened out.
The name Machinery Task Domain suggested to me that the domain was only
available for use with a Machinery Task.  I was comfortable once I learned
that the domain was available for use with any task.
