Re: [dita] Delayed conref domain
This raises the question of what we should or should not consider
      for inclusion in the standard. Is an architectural feature that
      can be used only one platform (Eclipse) too narrow? I would
      probably think that it is, but I'd love to hear others' thoughts.

    
How broadly applicable should something be before we entertain
      adding it to the DITA standard?

    
Best,

I asked some of our authors in IBM about usage
          (in a very un-scientific way, polling in a chat channel), and
          the folks who usually respond to such queries hadn't heard of
          the domain. It was really designed around an Eclipse feature,
          and I am not aware of any other rendering platform that has
          such a feature, which probably limits the utility. I know it's
          also been a bit of a pain to support in the DITA-OT processing
          pipeline because it requires "If Eclipse" exceptions to
          otherwise common feature processing.

      Is this a domain that we want to consider
          removing for DITA 2.0?

          

          I don't know if it used at all outside of IBM.
