DocBook Technical Committee Meeting Minutes: 20 September 2006 ============================================================= The DocBook Technical Committee met on Wednesday, 20 September 2006 at 05:00p EDT (02:00p PDT, 21:00GMT, 22:00BST, 23:00CEST, 06:00JST+, 02:30a India+) for 45 minutes. 1.

Accepted the minutes[1] of the previous meeting. 3. Next meeting: 20 September 2006 Paul expresses regrets. 4. Review of the agenda. No changes or additions. 5. Review of open action items a. Norm and Bob to review and close any RFEs that should be closed. CONTINUE b. Norm to ask David Carlyle of W3C if others have reported problems Unicode 3.1 (more than 16 bits) in the entity sets. COMPLETED c. Jirka to recommend where datatypes should be added in DB5. COMPLETED d. Bob to investigate what other biblio elements might be appropriate inline. CONTINUE 6. DocBook 4.5 standards progress. DocBook 4.5 as OASIS Standard went out to vote on Sept 1. So far 7% of members (25) have voted all in favor. We need 10%, so urge members to vote. 7. Data types in DB5 (see Jirka's proposal [2]). Jirka described which attributes in DocBook 5 could have data types associated with them. Bob suggested that the annotation attributes should not be of type IDREF. He described a modular documentation system in which an annotation for an element may reside in a different modular file, in which case the module would not validate. The Committee adopted Jirka's recommendations, except for annotation attributes which will remain text. ACTION: Norm to produce a new DB5 beta. 8. Other DocBook 5 issues. Bob mentioned the discussion on the mailing list about whether HTML tables should be in the XHTML namespace. No one proposed changing the HTML table markup in DocBook 5 to use the XHTML namespace. ACTION: Norm to enhance the description of HTML table markup in The Definitive Guide. 9.

ACTION: Bob to add to next month's agenda. 1546008 qandaentry and TOC: question is not title! This is a stylesheet issue, since the already schema provides info elements to store a title that could be used in the TOC. 1549632 db5 inlineequation should require inlinemediaobject Accepted. ACTION: Norm to make this change in the next DB5 beta. 1554914 make olink targetdoc attribute optional Bob argued that when using olinks to link in a single document composed of several file modules, it is not necessary to use a targetdoc attribute on each olink because there is only one target document. This practice is already established in the current stylesheet. The proposal was Accepted. 1557319 indexterm parents like replaceable This is already allowed in DocBook 5. If we ever release a DocBook 4.6, we will consider it for the DocBook 4 line. ACTION: Norm to explain to the RFE submittor.
