[Bob Stayton <bobs@caldera.com>] DOCBOOK-APPS: proposal to extend Olink

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

Folks,

I think there's a lot of merit to this proposal. I'm going to put this
on the agenda for next week, so I strongly encourage everyone to read
Bob's paper.

Did you ever find a need to form cross references
between DocBook documents? I've written a white paper that
proposes a scheme for extending the DocBook Olink element
to better support cross references between documents.

You can read "Proposal for implementing olink" at
http://www.sagehill.net/OlinkExtended.html.

It's fairly long because it has  quite a bit of
detail, but there is an Executive Summary if you
want the short version.

I'm about to embark on implementing a prototype,
so any comments would be appreciated.
