Subject: Re: [docbook-tc] allow article element inside set?
Hi Dave,
How can book and article be top level, when set wraps book?
I didn't mean top level in absolute terms of the schema, but top-level in terms of common usage.

Here are the minutes from the meeting: New RFEs 3571149 Allow Article inside Set The TC discussed this new RFE. Larry was concerned about putting elements from different hierarchical levels together. Bob mentioned that forcing articles into a book requires adding a book title, which may not be appropriate for unrelated articles. Also, DocBook has long said that book and article are top-level elements, so creating a set that mixes them could be useful. Some were concerned about rendering. The TC was generally not opposed to the change, but we want to get more TC input.My action item was to initiate a discussion of this topic on the TC mailinglist before the next meeting. Any thoughts?It makes sense to me. The physical analogy would be the bound sets of articlesin our library? How can book and article be top level, when set wraps book?We do talk about a set of books, why not a set of articles in the same way?If the rendering is too significant a problem I would agree such a minority usewould not be worth it. In which case I'd say no. Just my 2c Dave -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ.
