Subject: Re: [dita] Scope and compatibility for DITA 1.1
Good question, Chris. Speaking for the DITA Open Toolkit, all critical bugs (fixed/tested, of course) go into the next scheduled patch along with scheduled minor updates; major enhancements are spread out based on user priority (need) and difficulty of implementation (resource balancing). I can see a similar model for the DITA features.... no need to wait for 1.1 to publish all of them if some are more urgent than others. Our prioritization gives some sense of what to stage for a first Candidate Release, etc., leading up to a tested set of full features for the formally approved 1.1 package. We need to put the known bug fixes out pretty soon, perhaps with some of the low-hanging fruit of the first few weeks of working on issues. It's not clear to me how to group the major proposed enhancements--we can discuss grouping at the TC meeting or on this thread.

Are any of these changes less desirable than others if we want to make "modest" improvements to DITA? Add new attributes to an old element Relax content for an element so it can contain previously disallowed elements Specialize new elements off a pre-existing element Create brand new elements Chris
