Subject: Issue #29: How best to handle <mapresources>? Feedback wanted.
One of the goals of proposal #29, "Update bookmap" is to provide an intuitive location in a bookmap for map authors to locate resource-only objects such as:
We have several options for how handle the <mapresources> element:
So, given these two option, which is the correct choice for the TC? I don't have the answer, but I can suggest the framework in which we can make the answer. I think we need to focus on the user experience for map authors and information architects and ask the following questions:
If having a <mapresources> element in the map group domain solves problems/meets real user requirements, then I can support that. If we only have theoretical use cases for adding
<mapresources> to the map group domain, then I'll advocate
for simply adding <bookmapresources> to bookmap.mod. We know
that bookmap design has inherent flaws, and remember that the goal
of the bookmap update proposal is "to remediate problems without
breaking backwards compatibility." --
