RE: Suggested changes to the LwDITA grammar files

Hi Kris,



I agree with using -atts for those entities like we do in the main DTDs.  For the most part, href/keyref are always together except for topicref/keydef we could move keyref into
  reference-content-atts  then have  reference-content-nokeyref-atts  for the topiref one.



That would also make it easier to get rid of the keyref entities. The only question mark is what will happen to the video element with Eliot's proposal.

Subject:  [dita-lightweight-dita] Suggested changes to the LwDITA grammar files



There are changes that I d like to make in the LwDITA grammar files:

Get rid of any entities that simply declare a single attribute, and instead declare the attribute directly on the element. There are four entities that this would
  apply to:

  <  !ENTITY
  % control-variables



'keys      CDATA                            #IMPLIED '  >

<  !ENTITY
  % variable-content



'keyref      CDATA                            #IMPLIED '  >

<  !ENTITY
  % variable-links



'keyref      CDATA                            #IMPLIED '  >
  <  !ENTITY
  % fn-reuse



'conref  CDATA                              #IMPLIED  '
>

Standardize the names of the entities (and attribute groups) to match how they are used in the DITA spec. This would reduce cognitive dissonance for DITA architects
  who work with both DITA and LwDITA, as well as spec editors.



Any objections or concerns? Let s discuss this on list so that it does not need to wait until the next subcommittee meeting/



Best,

Kris
