Subject: Re: [dita] Groups - DITA Proposed Feature #12013 Referencing a rangeof elements (ConrefRange.html) uploaded
From: Yas
Etessam Hello
Erik, The
original proposal didn’t have the constraint that
range of adjacent elements must have the same type. Only that they
must share the same parent. If
a range can span a group of non-heterogenous elements, that implies
that the start and end points don’t have to be the same type either.
It might be simpler for processors and tools to work on the
notion that the range can span a group of non-heterogenous elements. Although
during the call, I mentioned that the issue at hand is
whether forcing a selection of homogenous elements is going to make it
more
likely that the resulting conref is valid. Upon some thought, I
don’t think that a forcing a homogenous selection will make a major
difference. It
will be harder to implement a solution where we have too many
constraints that can’t be easily validated. At this point, I think
that a DOM based definition where we define the feature as allowing a
series of
adjacent siblings to be conref’d is the better approach. Of
course, I am interested in understanding your position in
this matter. Yas From: Erik
