RE: [dita] Re: vocabulary module [was: results from recent DITA 1.2 terminology discussions]

Ah, I should have thought that through. I see there's a kind of atomic
explosion of semantics in that little word "atomic". 

Because you said that the one-sentence definition was OK, I'll assume
that means that the definition of vocabulary module doesn't have to say
(a) that the only direct dependencies are the obvious ones for default
DITA declarations of child elements and attributes occurring in the
module, and no others; or (b) that the only indirect dependencies are
the dependencies of structural modules on domain modules when they are
associated in the value of the @domains attribute.
