Discussion that current OASIS Word template
is awful, and we need to create an OASIS stylesheet for DITA so we can
stop using Word.

Discussion that looks like a good start.
>ITEM: Rethinking the DITA Reference
Docs (resuming from last meeting--no recent discussion)
>http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200802/msg00014.html
(Kimber and following)
Robert mocking up potential solution.
Eliot to work with spec editors. Does not affect language or meaning of
specification. Proposal is to make reference content more consumable by
reusers, for example when creating custom docs for specializations.
Aim for further discussion April 8th.
>ITEM: Need Clarification on Implications
of Different List Markup Patterns
>http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200802/msg00011.html
(Kimber)
>Action for Eliot: rollup needed
If you start a list item with a para,
should it get more space? (Currently does in HTML toolkit output but not
in PDF)
If you have an intervening para container
in a nested list, should the para container affect number formatting (eg
1/a for direct containment, restart inner to 1/1 if indirect)?
Should the spec even have an opinion?
EG if variable with defaults, what is the default behavior here?
Possibility: for ol/li/p/ol, provide
either default of "same as ol/li/ol", or example without making
it an explicit default
ACTION: Robert Anderson to write up
position for list to provoke reaction/discussion
>ITEM: graphical hotspots in DITA
documents
>http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200803/msg00030.html
(Summary--Ogden)
ACTION: Jeff to write up as formal proposal
for DITA 1.3, potentially make available beforehand informally
>New ITEM: Issue With Requirement
for Trailing Space in class= Values
>http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200803/msg00017.html
(initial post--Kimber)
EK: withdrawn for now - too many dependencies
on existing form; may revisit in future, eg DITA 2.0
Deferred to next week:
>New ITEM: Should Nested Topicrefs
Be Allowed for format="ditamap"?
>http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200803/msg00014.html
(initial post--Kimber)
>New ITEM: Jeff Ogden request for
update on Machine Industry deliverables (DTDs in particular)
>Please continue discussion on the
list about "Test Environment for SC business"
