DITA Stage 1 Proposal: Accommodations in DITA 2.0 for LwDITA

[Alan Houser <arh@groupwellesley.com>]

Colleagues,

I submit a DITA 2.0 stage 1 proposal, below, to accommodate referencing 
and processing of Lightweight DITA content in DITA 2.0.

If the TC approves to proceed, I would be pleased to champion this proposal.

DITA 2.0 Stage 1 Proposal
Accommodations in DITA 2.0 for LwDITA-conforming processors

The Lightweight DITA subcommittee envisions that DITA 2.0 processors may 
support referencing and processing of Lightweight DITA content (topics 
and maps in some or all LwDITA authoring formats) in DITA content 
collections. To accommodate this possibility, we propose to add 
attribute values to the appropriate element types in the DITA 2.0 
specification and grammar files.

Proposed changes:

<topicref @format> - add enumerated values "hdita", "mdita", "xdita", 
"hditamap", "mditamap", and "xditamap".

<mapref @format> - add enumerated values "hditamap", "mditamap", and 
"xditamap".
