Subject: More on structured sections
Hello Don, I'm proposing to pull sections off the agenda for tomorrow's meeting until the #34 Constraints proposal is discussed and a new version of the structured-section proposal is uploaded to the documents section of the OASIS TC site. We seem to have consensus on the following: * Mapping sections to DITA implies mapping nested sections to "subtopics" * MP's rule of thumb: need to teach authors to use subtopics rather than sections if content has a unique title, more than one paragraph and requires nesting. * constraints proposal offers an architecture for limiting the content model of an element * adding a new structured-section element isn't widely supported If everybody sets their own constraints for sections, interoperability would still be a problem. I'm going to modify the proposal to consider the use of structured-section as a specialization. Being able to offer out-of-the-box editing for DITA without each vendor deciding on their own constraints seems like a good approach. I'm interested in hearing from the other vendors about whether this is something that dovetails with their goals. Regards, Yas Etessam
