I still prefer the minimalist approach to our 1.0 
deliverable. When we
were discussing and voting on our charter, I understood 
that our
first deliverable--DITA 1.0--was pretty much going to 
be a "rubber
stamping" of the existing IBM standard and current 
practice with DITA.
We have a second deliverable with which to get more 
creative.
 
As much as I agree it would be worthwhile to expand the 
applicability
of DITA techniques beyond the scope of DITA 1.0, 
I don't feel that we
should do that in the1.0 timeframe. I have been on too many 
standards 
committees that take so long to get out their first 
release that they
miss the optimal window of opportunity; I'd like to 
avoid that with DITA.
 
Before we get out our first deliverable, I would not spend 
time trying to
explain how to use specialization outside of the DITA 
tag set.  And I
would also leave to post-1.0 the enhancements to 
<tm> and <keyword>
below.
 
All that said, if the rest of those 
in the TC don't share my opinion, I'll bow 

to the majority on this. The 
last thing I want to do is add to the time to our 

first deliverable by spending another telcon on 
this issue.
