DocBook Technical Committee Meeting Minutes: 17 August 2011 ============================================================= The DocBook Technical Committee met on Wednesday, 17 August 2011 at 01:00p EDT for 60 minutes. 1. Roll call Present: Paul Grosso, Nancy Harrison, Scott Hudson, Larry Rowland Bob Stayton, Norm Walsh Regrets: Dick Hamilton, Gershon Joseph Absent: Jirka Kosek 2. Accepted the minutes [1] of the previous meeting. 3. Next meeting: 28 September 2011 NOTE: next meeting date changed from 21 to 28 September. 4. Review of the agenda. No changes. 5. Review of open action items a. Bob to update his XSL stylesheet for building a DocBook document from an assembly. CONTINUE b. Bob to add contributed Publisher's stylesheets to the XSL distribution. CONTINUE c. Norm to post Simplfied DocBook 5.0 to docbook.org. CONTINUE d. Gerson to propose content models for result element(s) (RFE 3163121). CONTINUE e. Bob and Nancy to initiate a discussion on the mailing list to further develop the issues between the two approaches to transclusions (ref element vs. attributes). COMPLETED 6. DocBook assembly a. inheritance of renderas attribute (see Bob's email [2]) Larry clarified that the intention was that an automatic renderas would only be applied if the referenced object did not fit without change (e.g., including a section element under a book level). Bob suggested that any automatic renderas should be a stylesheet issue for a particular rendering of an assembly, not part of the assembly standard itself. Norm proposed that automatic renderas not be part of the assembly specification itself. APPROVED ACTION: Norm to modify the assembly documentation to reflect this change. ACTION: Larry to write documentation on creating a navigational hierarchy from an assembly. b. other issues? None raised. 7. Extended XLink support (see Norm's email [3]) Norm reported that the current implementation of simple XLink is ok, but extended XLinks are not. He sent another email [5] proposing a solution. Members wanted time to review the issue, so we will discuss at next meeting. 8. Transclusion in DocBook. Element vs. attribute discussion (see [4]). This discussion will continue via email. Norm noted that little in our transclusion proposal is DocBook-specific, so he will propose to the W3C Core Working Group that XInclude be extended to meet some of our requirements. ID fixup is still an issue, as ID and IDREF attributes need to be identified. ACTION: Norm to propose XInclude enhancements to W3C. 9. Review of Requests for Enhancement To browse a specific RFE, enter the URL (on one line): http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&; group_id=21935&atid=384107&aid=XXXX RFEs to revisit for 6.0 1907003 biblioid content model too broad RFEs under discussion 2820947 Ability to transclude text 3035565 Allow sections at any level 3107140 aconym expansion inline Larry thought this item was completed, based on Norm's response to the RFE. ACTION: Norm will clarify the resolution of this RFE. 3156768 <result> tag New RFEs 3383019 DocBook Music Notation The group felt this was too specialized for inclusion in DocBook. Larry suggested that the music elements be kept in their namespace, and that existing tools exist to process it. ACTION: Larry to respond to the RFE. 3384939 db.xlink.type.attribute is too narrowly defined 3390036 Allow tag elements to nest Norm described a use case, and the committee had no objections to the change. APPROVED. ACTION: Norm to add this change to DocBook 5.1. Scott pointed out that there are four new RFEs on the Publisher's Schema. Norm suggested that the Publisher Subcommittee take these up and make recommendations to the TC. ACTION: Scott to reconvene the Publishers Subcommittee to discuss the RFEs. ----- [1] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-tc/201107/msg00005.html [2] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-tc/201107/msg00006.html [3] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-tc/201108/msg00001.html [4] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-tc/201108/msg00007.html [5] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-tc/201108/msg00010.html Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises bobs@sagehill.net
