Hi, Paul:


As Don was pointing out to me today, the <data> element presumably rides in on the coat tails of bookmap because the book metadata depends on it, but that should be okay because <data> is good to go (unless anyone has thought of ways to improve it while it has been sitting on ice).


Does glossary also ride in with bookmap as a requirement for having a complete book story?


Any other hangers on?



Thanks,



Erik Hennum

[dita] Last call for top DITA issues








So the current list of proposals is:


#20 Extensible metadata attributes

		 * customers ask for it and the current situation is just not

workable for many


#38 Bookmap / bkinfo revision

		 * in widespread quasi-standard use already

		 * often requested by customers


#35 Support foreign content vocabularies such as MathML and SVG

		 * MathML in particular is very popular, and has been hacked by

XMetaL customers


* graphic (image) scaling improvements (no issue number?)


Now is the time to jump in with any other DITA 1.1 issue that you

consider absolutely urgent and therefore a candidate for "early

release".


And then SOME STILL-TO-BE-RANKED SUBSET of indexing requirements:


- #44 Keep indextermref (or redefine its function)

- #45 Add See, See Also indexing elements

- #45a Add sort order indexing elements

- #45b Add page range indexing elements


I'll send another email about ranking the indexing requirements.
