ITEM: Discussion of "Best Practice for Using the DITA Conref Attribute for Translation" url : http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200710/msg00052.html lead : Hackos notes : ACTION: Gershon to check with JoAnn for latest version of doc and forward link to TC. 2.

ITEM: Need Clarification on Implications of Different List Markup Patterns http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200802/msg00011.html (Kimber, no follow up) Erik: Gershon asked is there a way to provide tighter topic DTDs by default Discussion on whether the existing DTDs are really "bad"... Michael: I don't want to say current topic types are useful only for specialization, but I agree there's a need for tighter DTDs. Jeff: Add text that some organizations may want to enforce enforce a stricter content model than the default topic types, and they can use the constraints mechanism to achieve that. Don suggested we provide tutorial on how to specialize a DTD via constraints for office memos. Discussion... Jeff encouraged Gershon/Eliot/etc to submit issues we want to raise in the 1.3 spec. Someone can take on the task of trying to find a spot where people can submit DTDs/tutorials/samples/etc outside of the standards process but where they could be shared. Michael: That's what dita.xml.org is for. ACTION: Gershon to add a placeholder for requirements (and later specializations) for more constrained version of the DITA topics. (Gershon noted he's under workload pressure and it will likely take him a while to get to this AI.) 3. ITEM: Organization of the DITA Specification 1. OASIS on statements of use vs implementations http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200802/msg00021.html (Day) Don mentioned that "statement of use" should be used instead of "endorsement". OASIS requires 3 uses or 3 organizations, as long as we provide 3. Jeff: OASIS wants uses, and does not care if it's organizations or implementations. Michael stressed that we must get uses of new spec features. 2.
