Accepted the minutes[1] of the previous meeting. 3. Next meeting: 15 February 2006 4. Review of the agenda. No additions. 5. Review of open action items a. Norm to pursue the process of making DTD 4.5 an OASIS standard. COMPLETED. b. The Java language has added java annotations, and Norm wondered how these would be marked up in a synopsis. The C# language also has annotations, Jirka pointed out. ACTION: Norm to investigate this issue some more. CONTINUED. c. Norm to write up a description of how authors should handle elements that have been dropped. ACTION: Dick Hamilton will take over this action item. d. Norm to investigate the submitter's example in 1358844 - allow multiple imageobject in imageobjectco. COMPLETED. 6. Default attribute values in DocBook 5. Other DocBook 5 issues. The TC reviewed the default attribute values present in DocBook 4.5 to see of they should be carried over to version 5. The group felt that most of them were obvious and could be converted to IMPLIED rather than a default value. But the following attributes were deemed sufficiently useful to be included in the RNG grammar and expressed in the DTD version of the schema: <!ATTLIST simplelist type (inline|vert|horiz) "vert" <!ATTLIST methodparam choice (opt|req|plain) "req" rep (norepeat|repeat) "norepeat" <!ATTLIST arg choice (opt|req|plain) 'opt' rep (norepeat|repeat) 'norepeat' <!ATTLIST group choice (opt|req|plain) 'opt' rep (norepeat|repeat) 'norepeat' ACTION: Norm to add the DTD default attribute syntax to the V5 RNG grammar. ACTION: Norm to express the default value in the DTD version. Larry asked about a note in the XSD version that says it permits more than the RNG grammar. Norm said that note is incorrect. ACTION: Norm to remove the note from the XSD version. ACTION: Larry to test token string in both XSD and RNG validation. 7. Review of Requests for Enhancement To browse a specific RFE, enter the URL (on one line): http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&; group_id=21935&atid=384107&aid=XXXX 1306027 Support for annotations in synopsis elements CONTINUED. 1358844 allow multiple imageobject in imageobjectco Approved. The group determined that if different file formats of an image were the same size and the areas could be specified with the same areaspec, then it should be permitted to have more than one imageobject inside an imageobjectco to reuse the areaspec. Only one imageobject would be used per output form. If an areaspec cannot be reused for more than one format, then the author must use more than one imageobjectco elements with separate areaspec elements. ACTION: Norm to add to V5. ACTION: Norm to document it in The Definitive Guide. 8. Scott mentioned an email describing a problem in Simplified DocBook 1.1 ACTION: Scott to file an RFE about the problem. - --- [1] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-tc/200512/msg00017.html Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises DocBook Consulting bobs@sagehill.net
