Subject: Non-normative content such as notes and history in hierarchy types
I am currently converting the United States' codified statutes and regulations into Akoma Ntoso. What is the preferred method of putting non-normative content, such as historical and other editorial notes, in a hierarchy type such as hcontainer or section? Is it to create a subordinate hierarchy type and specify its status as "editorial"? If so, would this cause any ambiguity in parsing, e.g., guessing the subject of such editorial content? Is there a preferred method of differentiating between the types of such editorial content, such as those describing the normative content's history, codification process artifacts, or judicial interpretation? If there are no preferred or intended methods, what methods would be consistent with the document model? I note that the Legix.info website is embedding such non-normative text in the content element along with normative text,[1] but I do not think this is proper given that this method does not differentiate between what is normative and non-normative. I also note that the meta element is not allowed to be in a hierarchy type. [1] http://legix.info/us/usc/title01.akn.html -- Eric Branson
