Subject: Michael Priestly and an unspoken assumption
Greetings! It occurred to me while eating supper that perhaps Michael Priestly and I are disagreeing over an unspoken assumption. Perhaps not but here goes... Must a user who is using *descriptive* markup, see the *descriptive* markup? My answer would be no. And as evidence I would cite the experience with ODF, the reports we have seen about DITA on this list and other examples of interfaces that don't display descriptive markup to users and yet the users are clearly using (in my sense of the term) *descriptive* markup. Question: Is that an unspoken assumption that is dividing us? Just curious. It isn't something that occurred to me to ask earlier. Hope everyone is having a great day!
