DITA Task model



To levelset - Andrzej, are you really proposing this for DITA 1.2? We've spent two years getting to this stage of development and documentation - do we want to hit the reset button?

I support the idea of a simple-DITA proposal for 1.3. I have zero confidence in its readiness or appropriateness for 1.2.

Andrej,

You refer to your June 2008 exchange with Michael at
http://tinyurl.com/ycz87lt, where you summarized your proposal thus:

>... a definitive subset of DITA, let's call
>it for argument's sake EDEN (Electronic Documentumentation Essential
>Norm) .... EDEN would be a completely
>valid DITA form but would not allow the following constructs:
>
>1) Recursive elements - no recursion
>2) Block spanning elements - only inline elements allowed within block
>elements
>3) Conrefs - replaced by xrefs for linguistically complete phrases or
>sentences
>4) Specialization past the basic Topic, Concept, Task and Reference -
no
>specialization

I'll remind the BusDocs team of this for its relevance to the proposal
under review there.
