Subject: Question: local content in <abbreviated-form> element with keyref
Sorry folks, yet another issue which needs to be scrutinized before finally-final-finalizing item #3 here: http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/Review-FAQ- Consider this scenario: <p>An <abbreviated-form keyref="abs">anti-lock braking system</abbreviated-form> helps a driver to stop.</p> The spec does not seem to cover this scenario: http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os/spec/langref/abbreviated-form.ht ml#abbreviated-form For keyref processing in general, we have decided that the content of the keyref-bearing element should always be displayed if it exists. However, for <abbreviated-form> processing I'm starting to think that local content should lose if the key can be resolved to a <glossAcronym>. If we have local content always win, the only way to have the feature work will be to leave the <abbreviated-form> element empty. But to be safe, practitioners should put something reasonable in <abbreviated-form> so that there is fallback text if the keyref can't be resolved or if the processor is not sophisticated enough to do the special processing required to render abbreviations.
