RE: [dita] Formal Imagemaps

["JoAnn Hackos" <joann.hackos@comtech-serv.com>]

I'm having a problem, too, with missing captions on both figures and
tables. Many corporate style guides require figure and table captions in
all cases, not some of the time. I wonder, for example, why there is no
figure caption(title) available for simple tables. 

We can specialize at the moment, but it shouldn't be necessary.

Subject: [dita] Formal Imagemaps

One of my clients requires <imagemap> to have a caption. For now, I'll
specialize <fig> by adding <imagemap> as an optional child, but I was
wondering what the rational was for not making <imagemap> available in
<fig>?

PS. I'm not asking for this to be done in DITA 1.1. I just want to
understand the thinking at the time in case I'm missing something
here...

Best Regards,
Gershon
