<stentry> content model

Hi all,

 

Is there someone who could shed some light to the question why the <simpletable>/<stentry> content model in LwDITA is even more restricted than in DITA 1.3?

 

LwDITA includes a limited set of elements. The DITA 1.3 <simpetable> is already a simplified table model.

 

A logical expectation is that the LwDITA <simpletable> would allow the elements that are included in both LwDITA and DITA 1.3 <simpletable>.  In LwDITA <stentry>, <fig> is not allowed even though it is included in DITA 1.3 <stentry>.

 

When <fig> is considered as an essential part of the simplified table model in DITA 1.3, why should there be a different decision on the LwDITA side? If LwDITA adds restrictions like this, is it just complicating things unnecessarily?

 

Best regards,
