Subject: Re: [dita] Specialization of syntax diagram


Hi Paul,

That is indeed a bug. Back when syntax diagram was created, we intended to
add xref and footnote to the content model of both fig and figgroup. It
looks like it only ended up in figgroup.

The fix here is to add xref and fn to the content model of the fig element.
(Another option would be to remove the specializations as direct children
of <syntaxdiagram>, but that would be a backwards incompatible change at
this point).

Are there any issues with this as the fix? Would it be ok for this to be a
fix in 1.1, rather than in the soon-to-be-posted batch of bug fixes? The
downside of that is that generalization will not work for some syntax
diagrams until 1.1 is released.

pr-d/syntaxdiagram is a specialization of topic/fig. It has the
following elements in its content model: pr-d/fragref, pr-d/synnote,
pr-d/synnoteref.

These are specializations of xref, footnote and xref respectively.
topic/fig cannot contain footnote or xref (directly). Is this a bug in
DITA?

I discovered this discrepency while testing a prototype specialization
validator plugin for XMetaL.
