Subject: RE: [chairs] What can Standards Development / TC Administration do to help?
The good thing about using DITA is that
authors can work on different topics and maps for their part of the document. From: Mary McRae
[mailto:mary.mcrae@oasis-open.org] Let's not get into the content-based markup that's usable vs
format-based markup that isn't argument. Both DITA and DocBook are structured
to be customized to suit one's needs. I would never hand someone the DocBook
DTD and have them go at it. Would be horrendous to try to transform into
anything useful. Sort of like working with with ODF or OOXML. ;) I'd even be happy to support both DITA and DocBook. We do now. It
wouldn't be difficult to modify XSLTs etc to support both. Mary

Mary, I don't consider OpenDocument an authoring schema and I'm pretty sure
we would create a modification so it was our own. ;) I would think a goal of a standards organization would be to follow
standards, not create one off solutions. Mary

Yes! I'd love it.
But I can already begin to see the battle lines being drawn, i.e., which one
(DITA, Docbook, OpenDocument, . . .)? From: Mary McRae [mailto:mary.mcrae@oasis-open.org] Agreed. How
would the chairs feel about mandating all specs be created in an OASIS XML
format?

How much of this review might be automated? might be a lot if we had an xml publication format. On Apr 22, 2010, at 9:24 AM, Dave Ings wrote:
