Re: [dita-lightweight-dita] Re: Do we need multi-level specialization?
I vote for one level of specialization
      in Lightweight DITA. I have no use case for it. It seems like if
      you want that much specialization you should use full DITA.

    OK I've had one vote
        on this, saying they
        don't need multi-level specialization.

      

      Anyone else have input?

      

      Do the learning and training
        specializations
        depend on more than one level?

           Do we need

        specialization?

      

      

      In our last call we were
        struggling
        with how to represent multiple levels of inheritance in
        Lightweight DITA,
        especially in non-XML forms like HTML5 and Markdown.

      

      But backing up a bit, Don asked
        the
        question: do we even really need multiple levels in Lightweight?

      

      Do we have any examples where
        multi-level
        specialization would be required? That is, any examples where a
        specialization
        would need to be based off another existing specialization,
        rather than
        off of elements in topic or map.
