| Hi Kris,
Sorry - the last few days have been filled with dr's appts and other stress-inducing activities.
The design below is correct - only the top level (Appendix A, Appendix B, etc.) start a new page (just like sections); A.1, etc. are run-ins.
Thanks!
Mary

Hi, Mary.
I haven't back from you, so I'm going to telephone you this morning. Is
(603) 232-9090 your work phone number?
I don't want to touch on the namespace issue -- I'm leaving that in Don
Day's hands -- but I do want to ensure that I clearly understand all of
the other points so that we can avoid the sort of churn that we've been
experiencing.
I also want to check with you about the appendices. The draft of the
DITA 1.2 spec that the TC approved as CD 03 has the following structure
(which I implemented based on the design shown in the OASIS template at
http://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/OASISSpecificationTemplateV4.1.html#AB):
<pdf-toc.png>
Do you want each appendix topic -- for example, B.1, B.1.1, and B.1.2
-- starting on a separate page with a Level 1 header? Or should only
Appendix A and Appendix B be treated that way?
Looking forward to your help in resolving these
final formatting issues,
Kris

Hi, Mary.
Please see my comments or questions below in <kje> tags.

In the PDF version:
1. This Version URIs: text on the cover is fine, but the actual
hypertext links point to cd01
> The URI has been incorrectly changed to point to the
generic version rather than cd02; the URI was fine before - it was the
hypertext link that was incorrect
<kje>Help me understand,
since I obviously misunderstood your earlier comments. Is it the case
that the links in the "This version" section always point to a specific
version -- cd01, cd02, cs -- but the links in the "Latest version"
section always are the generic URIs? If so, is the following what you
want in the "This version" section?"

3. Namespace: this must be an actual hypertext link
<kje>By "actual hypertext link," do you mean a link to what you
call the "namespace document"? If so, where do you want to locate the
"namespace document"? Give us a URL, and we will reference it. (I am not sure why you mention the
focus area.)
The nomenclature is problematic, since the actual "Declared XML
namespace" is
xmlns:ditaarch="http://dita.oasis-open.org/architecture/2005/"
Perhaps this section should be retitled "Location of OASIS namespace
document"?</kje>

5. There are some rules showing up that seem to be tied to examples and
should be removed; they appear to be tied to the heading below them.
> rules still appearing; see pg 33 - just prior to 2.1.2.2.5
<kje>I'll open an action
item to correct this aspect of the PDF formatting.</kje>

6. Each Appendix should start a new page; same styling as 1st
level headings
> The section labeled 'appendices' should be removed or
turned into Appendix A.
<kje>I am reluctant
to have a lengthy list of appendices which would be at the same level
as major content. For example, if I followed your suggestion, the TOC
would look like this:
Introduction
Architecture specification
Language reference
Conformance
Appendix A
Appendix B
Appendix C
Appendix
D
Appendix E
Appendix F
Appendix
H
Appendix I
Appendix J
Instead, I'll reorganize the material as follows, which provides a better
alignment with the OASIS specification template:
Introduction
Architecture specification
Language reference
Non-normative information
Conformance
Appendix A. Acknowledgments
Please let me know ASAP if you think such a reorganization will require
a new TC vote.

NOTE: In the top section level head, the rule should be the same
purple as the headings themselves.

3. The link back to the main page points to cd01

cd02-specific
