#12020: elements in specializations which contain only #PCDATA

[Deborah_Pickett@moldflow.com]

Hi all,

I'm raising this as a result of an outstanding
issue with #12020 that was raised at this week's TC call.

#12020 has a list of elements in the
standard DITA specializations that contain only #PCDATA.  The proposal
suggests adding elements to them so that re-usable text can be used.  

The choices of elements to add are <ph>,
<keyword> and/or <text>.

Here is the current draft:

Bookmap

        * revisionid
gets keyword
        * year gets
keyword
        * month
gets keyword
        * day gets
keyword
        * edition
gets keyword
        * isbn gets
keyword
        * volume
gets keyword

Programming domain

        * option
gets keyword
        * parmname
gets keyword
        * synph
gets keyword
        * apiname
gets keyword
        * kwd gets
keyword

Software domain

        * msgnum
gets keyword
        * cmdname
gets keyword
        * varname
gets keyword

UI domain

        * wintitle
gets keyword
        * shortcut
gets keyword

Utilities domain

        * shape
gets keyword

xNAL domain

        * honorific
gets keyword
        * firstname
gets keyword
        * middlename
gets keyword
        * lastname
gets keyword
        * generationidentifier
gets keyword
        * postalcode
gets keyword
        * country
gets keyword
        * contactnumber
gets keyword

That's a lot of <keyword>.

Are any of those choices wrong?  Can
people imagine a case where an element in that list would need to contain
non-keywordy text?  Please reply to the list.
