Subject: Revised proposal for DITA-unique additions to Exchange table




From: Don Day <>
To: "DITA TC list " <>
Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2004 09:23:17 -0600







This proposal represents the changes required to bring the stock Exchange table model into functional equivalence for DITA processing with the CALS-based model that we have voted to replace.


New for this revision: added %id-atts; to <entry>; revised the @pgwidth description. Moved the structure discussion to the front.



STRUCTURE:


Introduce the DITA-unique <desc> element (optional after <title>); this element

enables more consistent presentation of both figures and tables.



ATTRIBUTES:


For the <table> element, add:

	%univ-atts; which consists of:

		%select-atts; [for selection, conditional processing]

		%id-atts; [for conref and linking]

		@translate + @xml:lang) [for NLS processing support]

	%global-atts; (@xtrf + @xtrc)  [for tracing and messaging support in processors]

	@class  [for specialization support]

	@outputclass [for role designation (ie, styles, future migrations)]

	@rowheader  [for accessibility support in processing]

	%display-atts;  which consists of:

		@scale [for presentational equivalence with other scaled
exhibits: fig, pre, lines, simpletable]

		@frame (already part of table)

		@pgwidth (already part of table, same intent as original @explanse)


	(NOTE: should @pgwidth be applied to the other contexts as well?

	besides table, this would affect fig, pre, lines, simpletable)


For <tgroup>, <thead>, <tbody>, and <row>, add:

	%univ-atts;

	%global-atts;

	@class

	@outputclass [for role designation (ie, styles, future migrations)]


For <entry>, add:

	%id-atts;

	%global-atts

	@class

	@outputclass [for role designation (ie, styles, future migrations)]

	@rev [for indication of revised content for flag-based processing]
