Subject: RE: [docbook] Amended DocBook Technical Committee Meeting Minutes: 20 April 2005
Could you elaborate a bit on "8. DocBook namespaces. A DocBook namespace is needed for version 5. We want a stable, nonchanging name. The Committee agreed that it would apply to the family of DocBook schemas, including Simplified DocBook and customizations. The name would not contain a version number." So what would be the semantics of this DocBook namespace? Given that "it would apply to the family of DocBook schemas" (dare I read architectural form?), there's room for something that asserts the applicability of a *specific* member of the family to a document or parts of a document. Lots of application, e.g. editors, are going to implement each their own mechanism of asserting document types; some already do. Document type versioning is inherently hard. Last time this perma-thread popped up here was http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook/200309/msg00054.html Another discussion: http://relaxng.org/pipermail/relaxng-user/2003-October/000055.html I know about ongoing work in ISO/IEC 19757 http://dsdl.org/, but I seem to miss the magic that will connect the pieces.
