Subject: RE: [dita-help] Help Features in DITA 1.3
Hi all. I agree. The base topic types work fine for UA. We just need to tweak a few things to add some hooks for UA delivery. I agree with the community that DITA is getting a little complex. Regards.

You will probably recall that the Help Subcommittee was established to make recommendations for 1.3; it wasn't anticipated that 1.3 would be so far away. So far, we have proposals for spec changes to better handle context hooks, and window definitions. We have discussed in the past the possibility of a specialisation for integrated or embedded user assistance content. There has been some negative feedback from the community about the perceived complexity of 1.2, with new information types, constrained versions of some types, and a (perceived) mushrooming in the number of elements. My feeling is that the context hook and window definitions should be built into the base content model. My feeling is that we should not have a specialised information type for UA, mainly because I don't think the community is demanding such a thing. What do you all think?
