Re: [dita-lightweight-dita] Lightweight DITA: org.oasis.xdita
By definition, DTDs ARE XML, so I think there is no more problem
      with the public identifier stating so.

The public identifier changed to XDITA because readers were
        understanding LwDITA as XML only. 

      
He subcommittee has a more robust set of sample files in the
        GitHub repository and I plan to improve them as the TC and
        public review this draft of the note.

Why the shift from "-//OASIS//DTD LW DITA Topic//EN"
                  to "-//OASIS//DTD XDITA Topic//EN"? In this context --
                  public identifiers for XML files -- there would be no
                  confusion re other Lightweight DITA formats. I'd
                  prefer "-//OASIS//DTD LIGHTWEIGHT DITA Topic//EN".

                
The plugin.xml file needs to be updated. I'm not
                  sure who should be listed as the support person. The
                  dita-comment list? ?

                
For public consumption, I'd remove the docs
                  directory -- unless we add something something there
                  that is geared for public consumption, for example,
                  directions on how to install the plugin and work with
                  the sample files, or info about how the DTDs were
                  coded.

                

                
I'd like to see a more robust set of sample files;
                  currently there is a DITA map and two topics. One
                  topic -- programming-bulbs.dita - is solid, while
                  topic-test.dita was clearly only intended to be used
                  while developing the DTDs. The map references the two
                  topics and defines a key, although the key has no
                  @href or variable text.
