Heads up about targeted review concerning "Linking"

[Kristen James Eberlein <kris@eberleinconsulting.com>]

Hi, TC members.

Robert and I spent several hours yesterday discussing the material in the "Linking" topic cluster. This material was introduced in the 1.2 spec, with one exception, a new topic introduced for 1.3: "Links between maps".

However ... We have a lot of questions and concerns about this material, which we have expressed in draft comments. Accordingly, we want input from the TC.

Some of our concerns are:

• These topic contain material that we think might be better suited to a best practices white paper.
  
• These topics use terminology that is not formally defined.
• These topics introduce some terminology that is used only in these topics.

For previous targeted reviews, we've presented the TC with what we considered to be a solid draft -- That's not the case here. We need active input and consideration from the TC about this material and the questions that we've raised about it. Help, please!

Best,
