Just a clarification on the committee note -- It is serving two
(overloaded) purposes:
- Acting as an equivalent of a stage two proposal. A DITA TC
stage 2 proposal usually contains all the design details. See
https://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/DITA_2.0_Proposal_Process_DRAFT
for an explication of the DITA TC process.
- A document that the TC will actually (if approved) publish as
a committee note.
I will suggest that the TC consider these two purposes
sequentially.
Best,
Kris

==Approval of Minutes==
Deferred; distribution of 15 May minutes delayed by OASIS IT
issues.
==Announcements==
Proposed timeline for LwDITA summer work
(https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita-lightweight-dita/201705/msg00020.html)
Discussion:
Kris Eberlein: Proposed plan and timeline to roll out LwDITA
committee note to DITA Technical Committee.
Goal: Committee note finalized, written for DITA-savvy audience,
appropriate for public review.
Recommendation: Submit to DITA TC for review/approval June 5.
After TC approval, open for 30-day public review.
Alan Houser: Is review public or OASIS-member?
Kris: Public
Kris: Committee cannot work on committee note during public
review. This would be a good time to develop sample files. Final
work product should include sample files.
Timeline: After 30-day public review, LwDITA subcommittee
considers public review comments. Generates final committee note,
submits to TC for approval.
Decision: Timeline/approach accepted by consensus.
==Status/Updates to Committee Note==
1. Carlos: V15 is available. Much improved. Distributed to LwDITA
SC list (delayed by apparent OASIS IT issues)
2. How to define a key reference in XDITA
(https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita-lightweight-dita/201705/msg00021.html)
Discussion centered around DITA 1.3 rules for resolving key
references:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/errata01/os/complete/part1-base/archSpec/base/processing-keyref-for-text.html#processing_key_references
Decision by consensus:
XDITA
Add <keydef> element w/processing role defaulted or fixed
value
Add <linktext> to <topicmeta>, because needed for
variable text per specification.
Attributes:
@keys
@href
@processing role - defaulted or set.
Alan Houser will update LwDITA DTD, working with Carlos Evia and
Mark Giffin.
2. Footnotes (<fn>)
Previous SC decisions:
Footnote is a block element.
Footnote cannot cannot contain mixed content.
Decision by consensus:
XDITA: <fn> contains paragraphs and lists (ol, ul, dl),
data. <dl> is _not_ supported.
HDITA: Footnote represented by <div> that contains
paragraphs and lists.
MDITA: Extended profile will use HDITA syntax.
3. Proposal for mapping <note> to HDITA as a <div>
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita-lightweight-dita/201705/msg00009.html
Carlos Evia:
Issue: <note> cannot be mapped to <p>, because
<note> contains paragraphs.
Proposed Solution: Express <note> in HDITA as: <div
data-hd-class="note">
Solution accepted by consensus.
4. "Ghost elements in LwDITA DTDs
Several elements are declared but not referenced. Examples: param,
specmeta, specatt.
Subcommittee decision: Remove from LwDITA DTD
==Next Steps==
Request from Kris Eberlein: Request that subcommittee members
review the latest committee note (v15) as a white paper. Send
comments to the list.
Kris will schedule special LwDITA SC meeting Friday, June 2, 11-12
EDT for final review of committee note comments and go/no-go
decision to send committee note to DITA TC for approval.
Adjourned at 2:18 EDT
