Re: [dita] Release Management Domain: Must apply to maps as well as topics

[Don R Day <donrday@contelligencegroup.com>]

I for one would not object to the TC's finding this to be a logical and straightforward bug fix.

Proposal 13102 as written says:

"enables content workers to log comments and metadata at the topic level
when changes are made."

The implicit restriction to topics is not necessary: there's no reason not
to allow revision history within maps and no technical reason to not use
it within maps (that is, <metadata>, the specialization base of
<change-historylist>, is allowed within <topicmeta>, so the domain is
inherently allowable within maps).

I take this to be a simple oversight on the part of the original proposers
who were focused on topic-specific use cases. I can't see any reason not
to allow the domain within maps and can think of times when I would want
to use it in maps.

Does the TC object to adjusting the spec language to explicitly allow use
of the domain within maps (which also implies integrating the domain in
all non-base map types in addition to the non-base topic types already
indicated in the proposal).

Cheers,

Eliot
