5.1 Comment
on the W3C working draft.
A
W3C working draft document entitled "Best Practices for XML
Internationalization" was published last week.
It
includes a section on DITA at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-xml-i18n-bp-20070628/#dita
Comment from Deborah Pickett
(Moldflow)
Curious. It gives some advice
on how to handle Ruby, which DITA probably needs a domain for sooner or later.
There are a few errors/omissions with respect to their coverage of DITA:
- The XPath selectors are all of the form "//term" rather than
"//*[contains(@class, ' topic/term ')]". Selectors appear to be able to
use all XPath 1.0 patterns, so they should Do The DITA Thing with element names
and classes.
- There's no mention of incorporating the domain into DITA
maps, which can have translatable text.
- It doesn't look like much
attention has been given to is-a relationships and overrides (i.e., <step>
is-a <li>). But, looking at the spec for ITS, the override logic for
<its:rules> isn't sophisticated enough to cope with mixing-in of DITA
domain specializations anyway. Darn.
