> C004 – Eliot: The toolkit Milestone M4 addressed at least some of those link
> issues.
> Seth: I have not used the latest toolkit release, but did notice the latest
> build I did had significantly less broken xrefs; not sure if it’s due to
> using bookmap.
> Robert: Latest report is latest code fixes some issues, while other issues
> appear to have gone away on their own.
> Robert has taken over ownership of the PDF code from Seth.
> C005 - Eric mentioned there is more work to do. Tracking the L&T issues
> separately.
> Eric: MSXML parser issues have been fixed. Now fixing other issues that came
> up during testing. Keep this item in progress until Eric delivers a new XSD
> kit.
> C008 - ACTION: Don to follow up.
> C010 - Robert: I followed up on this one and am not really sure what the
> right answer is. Need TC input. When using a key with link, if link has no
> desc or shortdesc we pull them from the map. The issue is what if the
> link text contains the linktext and shortdesc – how should we handle the
> processing in this case?
> Discussion…
> Eliot: The spec says if there is content in the link text then that text is
> used as the link text regardless of the target key definition.
> Eliot to respond to comment list with the pointer to the spec that has that
> info so we can close this item.
> C016 - Robert and Eric need to submit their DTD & schema updates.
> C018 - Eliot: In process. Requires some additional investigation. Hoping to
> respond today or tomorrow.
> C019 - See locktitle in business items below.
> C022 - Su-Laine did the rewrite and checked it in. Ditto for lock-title.
> Su-Laine to mark this one as closed.
> C026 - Eliot will take ownership of this item and respond to Tarun.
> C028 - Eliot: In progress. Change owner to “Eliot”.
> C029 - Robert: I need to implement. Plan to do it this week.
> C032 - Eliot: We discussed this item last week and were waiting for a final
> decision. The issue is whether or not @otherprpops should always be processed
> as @props. Should it be *required*, or *allowed to but encouraged*?
> This is a 1.0 spec practice we deprecated in the 1.1 spec and didn’t know
> anyone supported it. There are no known showstopper users for this, just one
> implementer. However, we don’t want processors to implement something that is
> deprecated. Specialized attributes should be used instead. Eliot mainly
> wants to fix the language that confuses processors. The TC had no objection
> to the change, so Eliot will go ahead.
> C033 - Eric: In process.
> C034 - Eliot: @processing-role is missing from the list of attributes that
> do not propagate. I added this attribute to the list, but did not formally
> engage the TC before doing so, which is why I am raising the issue fur
> discussion on the TC. There were no objections to Eliot’s assertion. Eliot
> to assign this item to himself, add a note about the disposition, and mark
> it complete.
> C035 - Eliot: The spec omits some aspects of XSD constraints which I
> discovered and discussed with Eric. The TC had no objections to making these
> clarifications in the spec language. Eliot to assign to himself and update
> the item.
> C036 - The DTDs don’t contain these, but the catalogs do and some files may
> have them. It was added in DITA 1.1.
> Robert to check the spec and respond to Tarun. Robert to assign this item to
> himself. Robert to clarify the language.

BUSINESS
1. New ITEM: Where to place ePub version of spec?
* http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201009/msg00048.html (Kimber)
> Discussion around KAVI and dita.xml.org. Eliot received the input he needed.
> CLOSED.
2. ITEM: Wrap up of "Clarification needed on @locktitle behavior"
* http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201009/msg00040.html (Yeo)
> Su-Laine: I made some changes to clarify it.
> CLOSED.
3. New ITEM: PDF processing for Spec
* http://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/browse/wsvn/dita/releases/dita12-full/dita12-complete-xep.pdf (latest Seth Park run)
* Remaining items (from email from Seth):
* Deal with bookmap artifacts (2 hours) -- we need new template overrides
to prevent the word "Chapter" from prepending numbering for
non-appendices. Also, the first page of each chapter has a new area with
links to topics; not sure what that will entail.
* Configure for AntennaHouse (4 hours) -- if we support AntennaHouse and
XEP (which should be our ultimate goal), we'll need to provide
formatter-specific attributes in relevant areas. This includes the
creation of a properties file for AntennaHouse to use the correct fonts
(and font substitutions where necessary).
* Implement the new numbering strategy from Robert (2 hours??) -- At the
time of my last changes, it was not available as an addressable
template, so I am using the existing numbering utility. Numbering is
already implemented as a template override, so it's just a matter of
calling the right template from the existing override.
* Handover from Seth to... ?
> Seth handed it over to Robert. Robert and co-worker Simcha will be looking
> at it this week. Any issues will be brought back to the TC next week.
> CONTINUED.
