Subject: Content model and specialization bases for hardware domain models


Hi, Zoe.

You and I talked a lot about this after the last TC meeting, and I thought it might be a good agenda item for today's TC call. And it'll close out an action item that is assigned to me.

Regarding the specialization base for <partno>, it needs to be <ph> (not <keyword>), if you want <partno> to be able to contain <data>.

Also, Robert and I had a discussion about implementing a constraint to minimize the number of "strange" elements permitted (that is, the domain extensions that become available and seem so very bizarre to authors). We decided against it for the following reasons:

I know I am the one who originally suggested that we consider a constraint, so I sincerely apologize for introducing the issue. (There is DITA 1.2 back history here; let's leave it at that!)

Regarding the content model for the elements ... I think we might want to simply define them directly, rather than using the already-defined entities. What do you (and reviewers and TC members) think of the following?

I have the DTD and RNG changes made and validated for these content models.
