Re: [dita] Chair's quote--pls review

["Jang F.M. Graat" <jang@jang.nl>]

Hello all,

I am not too happy about the last section "and the new Hazard  
specialization supports labeling for product safety applications."  
This is way too weak to do justice to the importance of the machinery- 
related additions, which also includes the machinery task. As the co- 
chair of the Machinery Industry SC, I think the impact of our work in  
the past years should be shown for what it is worth.

So I would like to see that last part rephrased as: "and with the  
hazard statement and machinery task specializations DITA has become  
applicable for machinery documentation."

Kind regards from Amsterdam

Jang
