Re: [dita-learningspec] Feedback for Matching Table Items

[Eliot Kimber <ekimber@reallysi.com>]

Unfortunately that can't work because lcMatchTable specializes from
simpletable, to the children of lcMatchingPair have to specialize stentry.

One alternative would be to specialize lcMatchTable and lcMatchingPair from
sectiondiv, which would lose the default table semantics but enable a more
flexible content model.

Not sure that's a good idea, but I'm not sure that having match table
specialize from table is actually appropriate, since in an actual assessment
you wouldn't normally present the item and the matching item in the same row
anyway, so getting a default table view is to some degree misleading, given
that any useful presentation other than for review would have to override
the default tabular formatting anyway.

Just a thought.

Adding a new child of lcMatchingPair that specializes stentry is the
cleanest solution to allowing per-pair feedback if lcMatchTable continues to
be specialized from simpletable.

Cheers,
