Subject: Re: [dita] History of the glossref Design?
I remember a lot of the discussion around DITA 1.2 extensions to the glossentry topic - they were long and difficult, with significant expansion of the original (very basic) glossentry topic in DITA 1.1. These extensions were bundled together with the new abbreviation / acronym support in DITA 1.2.
I remember less of the discussion around <glossref>, except that it was part of the same proposal, located here:
https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/26990/IssueGlossary12026.html
From that proposal - the glossref element was specifically created as a domain element to allow a key to be used for a glossary topic, for use with acronyms.
Like a handful of other proposals, this set of DITA 1.2 features was approved based heavily on the work of one person, who was no longer on the TC when it was time to write up actual specification language / work out the edge cases. That handful of proposals is what led directly to the far more rigorous process we put in place for DITA 1.3 proposals.
