Re: [dita] Under-specification for @refcol?

[Michael Priestley <mpriestl@ca.ibm.com>]

It might be something we could tackle
in the automated linking proposal now slated for 1.3. I wouldn't touch
it for 1.2 at this stage.

Subject	[dita] Under-specification for @refcol?

In dita-users list this week
(http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dita-users/message/15537), Kristen
made
the observation that the DITA 1.1 specification for simpletable's @refcol
attribute gives very little insight into how it should be implemented.
It
appears that the original intent at the time might have anticipated the
"associative linking" thoughts that have since matured as the
keyref
processing specification. Can anyone recall whether we've had previous
discussion for this attribute that needs to be reviewed and added into
the
edits for DITA 1.2?
