Subject: Property tables: summary of responses on dita-users
No one who replied is using them. Most mentioned the following
reasons:
Simon Bates (Scriptorium) also commented: "I'm also not fond of the
non-structural approach suggested in the spec for representing
multiple values for a single type. Yes, I can use an XPath to
find the correct proptype element, but it's certainly not
elegant." See http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/csprd01/part3-all-inclusive/langRef/technicalContent/properties.html#properties (shortdesc and example) for what Simon is referring to. However, reading through the slides from the recent conference
shows that at least one company other than IBM (Tridium) is using
property tables. -- Best,
