DITA Technical Committee Meeting Minutes: 29 April 2008
Chaired by Don Day <dond@us.ibm.com>
Minutes recorded by Gershon Joseph <gershon@tech-tav.com>
The DITA Technical Committee met on Tuesday, 29 April 2008 at 08:00am PT for
70 minutes.
1. Roll call
We have quorum.
2. Approve minutes from previous business meeting:
* date : 22 April 2008
* URL : http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200804/msg00092.html
Accepted by acclamation.
3. Business:
1. ITEM: mime type for DITA?
* http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200804/msg00095.html (Hennum update)
The TC had no objection to:
Mime type (application/dita+xml) identifies a document governed by the
DITA specification.
TYPE PARAMETER: use the topic type.
NAVTITLE PARAMETER: include an optional navtitle parameter.
ACTION: Erik to write up the proposal to IANA and the TC will then vote
to submit it.
2. DITA 1.2 open items (various notes from the list):
1. bodydiv within conbody or refbody:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200804/msg00046.html
The proposal only addresses bodydiv in topic. It does not address the
other topic types.
Robert proposes <conbodydiv> and <refbodydiv> in a similar way to
allow a "bodydiv" like element in concepts and references. (It's not
relevant to task.)
The TC raised concern that <condivbody> would not allow the <conbody>
content model.
DECISION: <conbodydiv> to allow grouping of sections and examples
only and will mix in with sections and examples. Thus it could be
used to group sections and examples together.
DECISION: <refbodydiv> to be added to <refbody> allowing the same
content as <refbody>.
2. sectiondiv within existing sections:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200804/msg00043.html
The proposal didn't address elements specialized from <section>:
refsyn, context, result, process, prereq, and postreq
DECISION: <sectiondiv> should be allowed within existing section
specializations.
3. Missing longquoteref from 12050a:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200804/msg00032.html
DECISION: <longquoteref> should be included in the <longdescref>
proposal.
ACTIONS: Michael to update the proposal to include <longquoteref>
that's the same as <longdescref>, and Robert to implement both
elements.
4. element for @standby:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200804/msg00026.html
The TC is happy to leave this attribute as-is.
5. Adding itemgroup and note to substep:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200804/msg00047.html
The proposal adds these to <step>, but says nothing about <substep>.
DECISION: Implement the same functionality for <substeps>.
6. Extent of taskbody constraint:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200804/msg00048.html
DECISION: The constrained task must have the constraints of the
existing 1.1 task, including only one <prereq>, <postreq>, etc.
