Subject: RE: [dita] Proposal for a safety domain in DITA 2.0
I have multiple clients using the hazard statement as currently structured and it would be disruptive to them if we removed support. They are using custom transforms to render the statements as required.  Thanks, Amber  From: dita@lists.oasis-open.org [mailto:dita@lists.oasis-open.org] On Behalf Of Jang  I guess these companies must have created their own rendering then, because until recently, none of the publishing tools did anything even remotely correct with it. But even if companies are using it, there are a number of things that are not correct about it when checking it against ANSI Z535.6, which is mandatory at least in the machinery industry.  So if we are checking with clients who are using the hazard statement, please also include feedback on whether these clients have done their own rendering transforms, and whether they have any comments about incompatibilities, incompleteness or hard-to-use features of the domains. Just the fact that companies are using it does not say it was well designed.  Kind regards  Jang F.M.

The hazardstatement domain is very poorly designed. There are almost too many things wrong with it, from its placement in the base directory and inclusion in all document shells to the content model for the hazardstatement itself and poor naming of elements. Until very recently, none of the authoring and publishing tools for DITA have done anything even remotely right in rendering hazard statements. Which goes to show that hardly anybody is really using them.
