DITAbase for conversion



Hi Rob,

While it is true that the conrefs would work if an organization switched wholesale from the current constrained task to a looser model, that's not backwards compatibility - that's saying that if someone wants to preserve their current reuse strategy they should throw out their content guidelines.

I understand the compatibility problems between constrained and
unconstrained conrefs. It shouldn't present a problem in environments where
DITA 1.1 DTDs are upgraded to DITA 1.2 DTDs with the unconstrained task
model. It is not a backward compatibility issue. Technically, the older DITA
1.1 task topics will also be unconstrained but be written to resemble the
constrained task model.

Cheers,
Rob
