"DITA 1.3: Why Three Editions?": Statement about DITA 2.0

Heads up -- I will be asking at today's TC meeting for any
    objections to the following statement about DITA 2.), which is
    included in the "DITA 1.3: Why Three Editions?" committee note:

    

    

      DITA 2.0
       
      
While work on DITA 2.0 is in
          the very early stages, there is general consensus among the
          DITA Technical Committee on the following points:

       
      
        Architectural
              redesign
        DITA 2.0 will provide an
            opportunity for the DITA Technical Community to revisit and
            redesign aspects of the architecture that are less than
            optimal, such as chunking.
        Backwards
              compatibility
        DITA 2.0 will not be
            backwards compatible. For all the DITA 1.x releases, the
            DITA Technical Committee has gone to great pains to ensure
            that it did not add designs or
            features that might break existing implementations. For DITA
            2.0, the DITA Technical Committee plans
            to relax this restriction, so that it
            can revisit some early design choices and remove deprecated
            elements. The DITA Technical Committee
            will minimize disruption and
            provide clear migration paths to ease transition to DITA
            2.0.
        Modularity
        The DITA
              Technical Committee plans to continue the practice of
              designing increasingly targeted releases and editions.
      
    

    

    
Best,

      Kris
