Extended XLink support Larry reviewed the proposal as well as the XLink standard. He commented that the standard is complex, but it provides impressive capability. But implementations are lacking. He said Norm's proposal looks complete. He wondered about putting translatable text content into the "title" attribute that is part of the standard, since that is not good practice. Norm's proposal to add XLink support to DocBook 5.1 was accepted. ACTION: Norm to document XLink support in The Definitive Guide for 5.1, including the concern about translatable text in the title attribute. 9. Revisit CALS table accessibility The Publisher's Subcommittee received an RFE to re-add the HTML table model to the publishers schema for accessibility reasons. Justification was provided in a web posting [4]. The Committee is willing to accomodate accessibility concerns, but are not sure about the process of changing the CALS table model by adding new attributes, while still remaining CALS compatible. ACTION: Scott to research the degree of flexibility in the CALS table standard.10. Transclusion in DocBook
