Subject: RE: [dita] DITA 1.3 FEATURE REQUEST: <gloss-sort-as>
Thanks
Su-Laine, so we can ignore this then, since it's already covered. I'll let the
DITA Adoption TC know.

(gerjosep) [mailto:gerjosep@cisco.com] Hi
all, At our
previous DITA Adoption TC meeting, one of the DITA-OT developers pointed out
that the new glossary markup does not address sorting the glossary entries. I
would like to add a discussion of this item to a future DITA TC meeting for
consideration. I don't expect this to make it into DITA 1.2, but rather have us
discuss it and decide whether to add it to our 1.3 list or reject
it. Thanks, Gershon From: Gershon Joseph
(gerjosep) Hi
Joe, I'll
take the sort as issue to the TC. Thanks for pointing it
out. Many
of the new elements in the glossary spec require quite a lot of specialized
processing, so tools will need to support them. I'd need to remind myself on how
much is normative -- I expect most if not all of the processing requirements
would be non-normative, in which case tools can do what they
want. Gershon From: Joe Gelb
[mailto:joeg@suite-sol.com] Hi, I’m not sure if I
will be able to make today’s call (or at least not the whole thing) but I wanted
to give an answer to the group about the glossary 1.2 spec support in the
current 1.5M10 FO plug-in. Basically: there is
nearly 0% support added in up to now. However, since all the elements are
specialized from something else, it could be that there would be reasonable
behavior without doing much – would need to get tested with some real content.
This is aside from any specific best practice behaviors specified in the spec
that would require complex processing. Although I am fairly
certain we do have code for implementing glossaries, we have not yet hit upon
any customers who asked for this implementation, so we do not have anything
ready for contribution on this at this point. However, we did have a customer
who needed something that was not included in this spec,
<gloss-sort-as>, which we did in fact implement. Perhaps someone on the
dita architecture committee (or whoever created this spec) can suggest including
this. Hope this
helps. Joe Joe
