DITA 1.2 <hazardstatement><messagepanel>

Hello
All,

 

DITA
1.2 Committee Draft 0.2 contains the new elements <hazardstatement><messagepanel>.
These contain the elements:

(
(typeofhazard) then (consequence) (any number) then (howtoavoid) (one or more)
)

 

Missing
is an element <explanation> (any number).

 

Often,
hazards are not obvious and/or occur under certain circumstances only. Then the
reader must get some corresponding information. Such information however fits
neither into <consequence> nor <howtoavoid>. 

 

Could
you please consider to include <explanation> (or something similar)? It
probably needs the same content model and attributes as <howtoavoid>.

 

The
Content model of <messagepanel> should then be:

(
(typeofhazard) then (consequence) (any number) then (explanation) (any number)
then (howtoavoid) (one or more) )

 

Regards

Johannes
Graubner
