4.  Business:

    1.  ITEM: DITA 1.2 Packages (resume from previous weeks)

        2.  Machine Industry Task discussion
            * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200806/msg00055.html

            Robert: The question is how to specialize the mitask domain. We 
            currently have a <prelreqs> specialized from <section>, and 
            <closereqs> is specialized from <example>. The reasons for this are:
            1) so that both can be used outside of task topics and 
            2) we're specializing <closereqs> from <example> so that it can 
            appear after <steps>.

            Chris: Should we rather specialize from <prereq> and <postreq>? The 
            reason we didn't is to allow these elements to be available outside 
            of task topics, in case anyone wants to specialize a new task from 
            topic then they can still use our domain.

            The TC agreed that these elements (<prelreqs> and <closereqs>) 
            should be specialized from <prereq> and <postreq>.
            
            Should this be done as a domain specialization or structural 
            specialization? Robert to send Chris the pros and cons of each 
            approach for discussion with the MI SC.

            ACTION (next step): Chris will take these decisions back to the MI SC.

    2.  New ITEM: Review anticipated schedule for drafts and remaining input
        * http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/Questions_for_1.2_Lang_Spec (Anderson) 

        Robert: Quite a few items need clarification. See this item's link for the
        list of questions. Robert will contact owners of each item that needs 
        clarification.

        Robert: The lang spec out there is an early first draft. All items in the 
        list on the questions page still need resolution.

        ACTION: TC members are asked to start reviewing the lang spec sections 
        they are interested in. Item owners and others interested in specific 
        items should review the list of open questions and address them and also
        review the elements associated with these items.
