Subject: DOCBOOK: Re: Issues with processing expectations of the proposedannotation element
/ Michael Smith <smith@xml-doc.org> was heard to say: | I hesitate to say this, but it seems like the best way to have | something to use for HTML title attributes would be to add a new | global common attribute -- an annotation attribute -- in addition to | an annotation element (if we decide to add one), not in place of it. I don't like that idea at all. I've come to the conclusion that putting human readable text in attributes is a bad idea. It has I18N problems and it tends to "hide" content. | We've had an open RFE for a while now -- RFE 522552, "Add title | attribute to element": | | http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=522552&group_id=21935&atid=384107 | | The text of that RFE requests a new attribute specifically for | annotations on Ulinks, to generate title attributes on HTML | hyperlinks. But it seems like if we were to decide to do that, the new | attribute should just be made a common attribute -- I think the HTML | title attribute is valid on any element that can appear in the body of | an HTML page, so things like <p> and <span> can have titles also. I'm hoping that we can address this RFE with some sort of annotation element. (Or not at all.) Be seeing you, norm -- Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com> | Extinction, n. The raw material http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/ | out of which theology created the Chair, DocBook Technical Committee | future state.--Ambrose Bierce
