Proposal 13120, Vocabulary for Cross-Deliverable Linking: Move to Withdraw

[Eliot Kimber <ekimber@rsicms.com>]

This proposal is to define vocabulary for interchanging the details needed
to manage the processing of deliverables from DITA source and, in
particular, to enable the production of cross-deliverable links in a
general and processor-indepdent way.

There is no way that I can complete this proposal by our current
deadlines. The feature is not a hard requirement for implementation of
cross-deliverable linking, it was just an attempt to standardize something
all processors would need to do, in the same way that DITAVAL standardizes
filtering and flagging specification to processors.

Thus I would like to withdraw this proposal from DITA 1.3. I will continue
to think about it and try to define something as soon as possible,
probably in the context of DITA OT extensions to implement
cross-deliverable link generation. We can always standardize it separately
from the main DITA standard or simply publish it as a technical report or
whatever.

Cheers,

E.
