   and 04 January

   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200501/msg00032.html

3. Affirm tentative decisions from last week:

   - Namespace URI: dita.oasisopen.org/1.0/

   - Naming conventions will be removed for shell doctypes.

   - Need to add query, translate and xml:lang attributes in the formal

     update of the map dtd.

4. Specification status

   As of last week:

   - namespaces in design: to be written

   - developing processes: to be written

   - CSS fallback support: Don to get back

   - namespaces in processing: to be written

   Related list issues:

   - otherprops syntax

   - URIs and versions

5. Bug lists (triage):

   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200411/msg00023.html

     1. Make the body element optional in base topic as well as for

        task, concept, and  reference 

     2. Make the keyref attribute CDATA instead of NMTOKEN so we can use

        URIs as keys

     3. Retire the boolean element

     4. Insert <desc> into <xref> -- for equivalence between xref and

        topicref

     5. Choice is missing a number of elements -- should have same

        content model as <li>

     6. Expand map DTD so meta elements are equivalent to topic meta

        (content elements in map should match same elements in topic:

         shortdesc, searchtitle, linktext)

   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200412/msg00031.html

    (rationale)

   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200501/msg00026.html

    (markup)

     7. Add mapref to map

   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200412/msg00028.html

   (issue 8 fixes a syntax error introduced by the fix for #9)

     8. Change the syntax for the keyword definition to parameterize the

        "tm" element

   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200501/msg00004.html

   (June era toolkit fixes that were not reported at the time)

      9. Add tm into keyword content model to enable proper trademarking

         of keyword content.

      10. Map and topic cannot share same keyword definition: recommend

          cutting the keyword element declaration from meta_xml.mod and

          paste separate defs into map.mod (no tm) and topic.mod (with

          tm).

      11. Elements derived from keyword must have same content models--

          need to revert words.cnt back to "PCDATA" for:

           msgnum, cmdname, varname

           option, parmname, apiname, kwd

           wintitle

      12. Default attribute values must be declared with " delimiters

   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200501/msg00006.html

      13. Provide more equivalence between topicref/link atts: 

          @query, @translate, @xml:lang

If time permits--statements, at least, on these questions from users.

 - Should <tm> allow images or logoized content?

   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200411/msg00024.html

 - Should <keyword> be allowed to nest?

6. AOB?
