Subject: RE: [dita-adoption] glossary support
Hi
Joe,
I'll
take the sort as issue to the TC. Thanks for pointing it
out.
Many
of the new elements in the glossary spec require quite a lot of specialized
processing, so tools will need to support them. I'd need to remind myself on how
much is normative -- I expect most if not all of the processing requirements
would be non-normative, in which case tools can do what they
want.

make today’s call (or at least not the whole thing) but I wanted to give an
answer to the group about the glossary 1.2 spec support in the current 1.5M10 FO
plug-in. Basically: there is nearly 0%
support added in up to now. However, since all the elements are specialized from
something else, it could be that there would be reasonable behavior without
doing much – would need to get tested with some real content. This is aside from
any specific best practice behaviors specified in the spec that would require
complex processing. Although I am fairly certain we do
have code for implementing glossaries, we have not yet hit upon any customers
who asked for this implementation, so we do not have anything ready for
contribution on this at this point. However, we did have a customer who needed
something that was not included
in this spec, <gloss-sort-as>, which we did in fact implement. Perhaps
someone on the dita architecture committee (or whoever created this spec) can
suggest including this. Hope this
helps. Joe Joe Gelb
