I remember Robert saying in his email that he'd prefer to do the XSLT-equivalent of string(.) which would remove the markup but not the content of descendants. But I don't remember (though I may have spaced out) talking about hiding markup rather than stripping it, and I don't understand what that means. > > 9.

We may have decided to close this item, but I don't think it's a smart idea to close any item where the spec is confusing. I'd rather add this to a list of things we need to clarify in dita 1.3. > > 11. CONTINUING ITEM: Perceptions that DITA is complex What with all this discussion about how keys and key references work--not to mention the other recent topics of discussion--among the smart, well-informed members of this TC, I cannot help but connect that to the discussion about the complexity of DITA. I'm not sure what the remedy is--perhaps the fact is that DITA is and has to be complex to do all we want it to do--but I don't see how any TC members can be surprised by the perception of complexity. paul
