6.	Hazard Statement
Jang: There were e-mails passed concerning the hazard statement while I was traveling on business. Apparently, no one saw any reason to change anything. But I believe it needs to be redone ? I disagree that there is no problem with it. It is supposed to be compliant with the ANSI standard, but is not. The discussion is far from over and I wonder how it will move forward.

Nancy: You should discuss this with Kris.

Jang: People have no problem with it, but it is not compliant with ANSI standards.

Bob Thomas: It doesn?t limit you from generating ANSI compliant hazard statements, but allows a compliance model that lets you work with a looser content model.

Jang: But it is not possible to leave the hazard symbol outside of the message panel now, which is defined by ANSI as necessary for grouped hazard statements. Type attribute allows note, fastpath ? which are specifically against the ANSI hazard statement standards, which only has 4 levels of hazard statements.

Nancy: Do you specialize?

Jang: You can?t have separate hazard statements unless you don?t use hazard symbols. According to ANSI, you don?t have to repeat the symbol if grouping statements. But the hazard symbol belongs to the message panel.

Nancy: Are there any other comments? It?s too bad Kris and Dawn are not on this call because they are the ones who didn?t think changes in hazard statement were advisable. 

Robert: I agree we need a different construction for messagepanel to cleanly support ANSI content.  
Jang: We could add multiple images as a child of messagepanel, but that won't work because messagepanel is specialized from the

element. I can investigate what can be done to rework the hazardstatement domain to make it more workable for ANSI-compliant content, without compromising legacy content that uses the current version. I will also contact Dawn and Amber, both of whom have clients using the current domain, to provide a single proposal, especially since Dawn is already the owner of a proposal relating to this domain for 2.0. (One possibility is replacing the
with
as the base for the messagepanel element.)
