Subject: RE: [sdd] Revision #1 is the right one
It's subtle admittedly, but if you look closely you'll see the outline in the "newer new" does differ between the optional versus required. The optional do not have a solid black line border and instead have a gray border. The required do have a solid black border. Once I became used to looking at the new images this way, I like the newer images better because I still was able to get the info the dotted lines conveyed on the older image and I do like the better distinction between attributes and elements. Thus my vote is for the "newer new" ... plus they're pretty ... :-) -Jason -----Original Message----- From: Brent Miller [mailto:bamiller@us.ibm.com] Sent: Thursday, September 03, 2009 12:47 PM To: Merri Jensen Cc: sdd@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: Re: [sdd] Revision #1 is the right one My initial observations: I don't see any substantial difference between "old" and "older new", so I would claim that if we chose "older new" for all the new additions/changes to the specification, that these would be "consistent enough" without changing all the existing diagrams. The "newer new" sure is pretty, and I like how it explicitly adds the type of the property, and how it more explicitly shows attributes vs. elements. However, for me, this one doesn't show "optional" as explicitly as the old or "older new" -- these latter ones use dotted lines, which is more obvious to me than the "0 .. <infinity>", which does provide the information but in a less obvious way, in my opinion. So to me, the question is whether or not the "newer new" provides enough additional value (not just color and other aesthetics) to justify changing all of the existing diagrams. At the moment, I don't have a strong opinion either way. What do others think? Thanks, Merri. Brent A.

Sorry for the mixup. I believe that the newest version has all the images in it.
