Subject: Re: [dita-lightweight-dita] Full DITA compatibility


Mark, yes, that's a good point... I can see a content model having
title-less sections all over the place. Things that are meaningful to the
organisation but wouldn't be explicitly called out to the reader with
headings.

I see that your present slidedeck, Michael, mentions using constraints to
"get rid of sections or get rid of content outside sections
(http://www.slideshare.net/mpriestley/a-lightweight-dita-update). I'd
favour losing sections as a default. What we set as a default I think is
enormously impactful. However then we have the issue of title-less topics,
if subtopics are used to replace sections.
