Subject: DocBook Publishers Conformance statement
Folks, just heard back from Mary McRae at OASIS, and we must have a Conformance clause in our spec. Please send your ideas on what we might need to state, and I'll create a draft that we can vote quickly on. At a minimum, here's what I was thinking: The DocBook Publishers schema is a valid DocBook v5.0 customization. Publications or documents will be considered conformant to this specification if they validate against the DocBook Publishers schema (publishers.rnc or publishers.rng). Extensions allow implementers to include features that are in demand by their customers. Also, extensions, often times, define new features that may migrate into future versions of this specification. However, the use of extensions can have a severe negative impact on interoperability. Any extenstions to this schema SHALL follow the principles and guidelines of the DocBook v5.0 and this Publishers specification; that is, the specifications SHALL be extended in a standard manner as described in http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/ch05.html. For implementations and/or applications that contain extensions, extensions SHALL be clearly described in supporting documentation, and the extensions SHALL be marked as such within the implementation/application. This document’s normative language is English. Translation into other languages is permitted. Information on conformance statements can be found here: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ioc/download.php/305/conformance_requirements-v1.pdf Thanks and best regards, -- Scott Scott Hudson Senior XML Architect e: scott.hudson@FlatironsSolutions.com O: 303.542.2146 C: 303.332.1883 F: 303.544.0522 http://www.FlatironsSolutions.com Vision.
