Subject: Regrets, DocBook RELAX NG
I have to send my regrets for today's TC meeting. But regarding item 7 (Assignment of responsibilities) from last week's meeting minutes: I'd like to volunteer to serve as the liason with the DocBook TC. [I meant to do that during last week's call, but, um, fell asleep about halfway through the call, which was somewhere around 1 AM my time (Tokyo)]. Also, I wanted to suggest that the TC consider the possibility of creating a RELAX NG version of DITA and eventually making the RELAX NG version the normative schema. The DocBook TC is (unofficially) planning on doing that for the next major version of DocBook, and I believe that the people guiding TEI are planning on the same thing for TEI. Along with a lot of other benefits (elegance of the language and ease of use/maintenance, ability to autogenerate W3C XML Schema and DTD from the RELAX NG source), having a RELAX NG schema could facilitate "interleaving" of DITA with DocBook and TEI (that is, allow intermingling of elements from DITA/DocBook/TEI within the same document instance). A unified model for text markup: TEI, Docbook, and beyond http://www.idealliance.org/papers/dx_xmle04/papers/03-08-01/03-08-01.html The DocBook Encoding Initiative or "TextBook" http://norman.walsh.name/2003/10/09/dei
