Subject: RE: [dita] Standard DITA processing instructions?
I think the DITA TC could include discussion of “DITA
standard PIs” in the spec. I think having something standard for change tracking would be a
good thing, but I wonder if that might not be better done in a way that would
work for DITA and non-DITA document types. And if you buy into that, the
question is what group would be a good one to work on it? I guess it
could be a recommendation from the DITA TC that had wider application than just
DITA, but I can imagine that there may be some other group that might be appropriate
and willing to do that work too. I think you have to look at using PIs vs. more traditional
element/attribute markup on a case by case basis. An advantage of PIs is that implementations that don’t
understand or support a particular PI should ignore them. That isn’t
as true for element markup. In the case of change tracking, I think there could be some real
advantages to using PIs. -Jeff From: Michael Priestley
