Subject: Question cropping up as a result of constraints review


A fairly significant question has cropped up as result of the constraints review. I polled four TC members yesterday and posed the following question:

"Off the top of your head, for a non-domain constraint module, which of the following is true?
  • A constraint module can restrict only a single element.
  • A constraint module can restrict only a group of elements that are defined in the same .mod file.

The TC members were equally split on what is the correct answer to the question.

I went to the original proposal from Erik Hennum, and confirmed that this was indeed ambiguous in both the DITA 1.2 proposal and the DITA 1.2 spec.

We do need to settle this ...
