DocBook Publishers Schema specification v1.0

[Scott Hudson <scott.hudson@flatironssolutions.com>]

Folks,

Mary McRae informed me that all OASIS specs require a conformance 
statement. The Publishers SC met today and approved the conformance 
language for the Publishers spec. I have added this section to the spec 
and re-posted the files to the OASIS site.

I do not know if this requires a re-vote of the spec to Committee Draft. 
Hopefully we can address this via email, so we can get the spec posted 
for public review prior to the next TC meeting.

Please review the documents at:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/32404/publishers.xml
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/32403/publishers-1.0-spec-cd-01.html
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/32402/publishers-1.0-spec-cd-01.pdf

Here is the conformance language that was added:

Conformance

The DocBook Publishers schema is a valid DocBook v5.0 customization. 
Publications or documents will be considered conformant to this 
specification if they validate against the DocBook Publishers schema 
(publishers.rnc or publishers.rng).

Extensions allow implementers to include features that are in demand by 
their customers. Extensions may migrate into future versions of this 
specification. However, the use of extensions can have an impact on 
interoperability.

Any extenstions to this schema SHALL follow the principles and 
guidelines of the DocBook v5.0 and this Publishers specification; that 
is, the specifications SHALL be extended in a standard manner as 
described in http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/ch05.html.

For implementations and/or applications that contain extensions, 
extensions SHALL be clearly described in supporting documentation, and 
the extensions SHALL be marked as such within the 
implementation/application.

This document’s normative language is English. Translation into other 
languages is permitted.


Please send to this list any comments and/or your approval of this 
revision as a Committee Draft.

Thanks and best regards,
