Re: [dita] User Feedback - make safecond unbound

[Don Day <dond@us.ibm.com>]

Chris, what is the harm in deferring this request to DITA 1.3? I'm trying
to discern the severity of the oversight in the content model. It is a
small technical change with no doc impact that I can see, and it is
certainly backwards compatible.  But at this point, bugs have higher
priority than mods, which is why I ask about severity. How do other members
feel about the impact of this change to the 1.2 DTDs?

Regards,

Via Robin Sloan we received a user feedback – change request for the
safecond element in the taskrequirements domain.

Change request

Old: <!ENTITY % safety.content
                       "((%nosafety;) |
                         (%safecond;))">

New: <!ENTITY % safety.content
                       "((%nosafety;) |
                         (%safecond;)+)">

The machine industry subcommittee supports this proposal.

We request to add this modification in the DITA 1.2 DTD if possible.

Best regards

Chris
