Re: [dita] Errata 02 item: Grammar glitch in <required-cleanup>

If you rephrase it as “Indicates the element from which the contents of the <required-cleanup> element were mapped” then I think it becomes clearer that “contents were mapped” is the correct construction.

Unless I’m completely misreading the original, in which case its needs to be rewritten so that it can’t be misread.

I don’t agree with this change: contents … were is correct in my opinion.

http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/errata01/os/complete/part3-all-inclusive/langRef/base/required-cleanup.html#required-cleanup

Currently:
@remap
Indicates the element that the contents of the <required-cleanup> element were mapped from (provides an idea about what the new intent should be).

Should be (at a minimum):
@remap
Indicates the element that the contents of the <required-cleanup> element was mapped from (provides an idea about what the new intent should be).

A more exhaustive rewrite probably is in order.
