Hi Rodolfo,

Would you still feel this way even if there were two completely different standards? EG: DITA for Rodolfo, and DITA for Specializers?

RMR: this would be as ridiculous as having two different HTML standards, one for Michael and one for browser developers. We need just one DITA standard.


If that would be acceptable, what is it about combining them into one standard - with two deliverables - that makes the whole unacceptable?

RMR: as said above, we need just one DITA to start with. Those that have special needs can extend, specialize, customize or whatever by following clearly established rules that allow tools to work with plain DITA and customized DITA without interoperability problems.
