Re: [dita] Re: Here is a new version of the Ruby proposal

[Eliot Kimber <ekimber@rsicms.com>]

The discussion we had at last-week's meeting was that it's not a big deal to
leave the Ruby proposal out of DITA 1.3 since we can provide it through
other channels, such as DITA for Publishers, where I can maintain it in sync
with the HTML5 design as it changes.

Cheers,

E.
