RE: [dita] Groups - DITA 1.1 Issue #20 (IssueNumber20.html) uploaded

I guess you're talking about the text now in the 
Technical Requirements section.  Having discussed this before, I think I 
understand, but I wouldn't be surprised if others were still looking for more 
explanation of the proposed solution.

 

I missed this part for several readings because I don't 
usually think of putting a solution into a requirements 
section.

 

Perhaps the "Summary of Requirements" sort of thing 
should go into a Requirements section (instead of being buried in Use Case), and 
then we should add a Proposed Solution 
section that gives the proposed solution.

The solution is in there, but sort 
  of buried. I tried to beef it up in the latest version. Also added some 
  explanations of why it's limited to metadata attributes (ie exactly how much 
  processing logic and rules are involved in prepping any given base attribute 
  to become specializable).

  right?

I second Paul's request. I would very much like to see a 
  concrete proposal. I'd also like to hear some clarification on why adding 
  attributes is OK for metadata attributes but not in the general 
  case.
