Re: [dita] [I18N] Integrating the W3C ITS locNote into DITA: Options

Hi,

sorry for reopening this older thread. But today I tried to integrate
ITS 2.0 into DITA and found that it will be not that easy, especially if
result should be conforming DITA specialization rules. Eliot told me
that TC discussed this in past and it seems (if I haven't overlooked
something in minutes
https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/48436/minutes20130226.txt)
that there was no conclusion.

Integrating ITS 2.0 into host vocabulary means adding dozen of
attributes in ITS namespace to all elements and allowing three elements
in ITS namespace in place where metadata are usually put.

Those three elements can be put inside <foreign>, so this is solvable.

Attributes are harder problem as DITA currently doesn't allow namespaced
attributes in specializations.

Is there any chance that for DITA 1.3 rules can be relaxed and foreign
attributes could be allowed or even better ITS attributes can be added
into standard DITA?
