Subject: DITA 2.0: loosen attribute specialization rules


If a @base specialization attribute is properly represented in @domains (or whatever), it shouldn’t matter whether it’s universal or targeted to specific elements.

 

Specialization rules in DITA 2.0 should be relaxed such that they allow specialized elements to have attributes unique to that element and not present on the specialization base. Any custom attribute added to any specialized element must be declared in whatever DITA 2.0 will use instead of @domains for declaring specialized attributes.

 

Relatedly, it should be possible to target a specialization of @base (and maybe @props) to a specific element or elements. For example, pre-DITA 1.3, it would have been nice to be able to add @orient to <entry> without having to also make it available on every other element in the DTD.
