impact assessment for <data> and <glossary>
Hi, DITA Technical Committee:

Here are the impact assessments of the 1.1 <data> and <glossary> features.

I've also included the outputclass and chunk attribute items, which complement the cleanup of the univeral attributes. 

Thanks,

Erik Hennum



<data> element

Description:
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/email/archives/200602/msg00083.html

Architectural specification

- Add a topic explaining that the <data> element provides the basis for properties (especially specialized properties) with structure and that automated properties can harvest the <data> element, determining the subject of the property from the <data-subject> element or the container element.

http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.0/archspec/commonmeta.html

- Add a link to the <data> element explanatory topic

http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.0/archspec/speclimits.html

- Add a caution against using the <data> element for content in the discourse flow.  The text elements within the <data> element are for biographical blurbs and similar properties and not for content in the flow. 

Language reference

Add reference topics describing the <data> and <data-subject> elements

http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.0/langspec/ditaref-type.toc.html

- Add links to the reference topics for the <data> and <data-subject> elements under "specialization elements" heading

http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.0/langspec/ditaref-alpha.toc.html

- Add links to the reference topics for the <data> and <data-subject> elements in the alphabetical listing

glossary topic

Description:
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/download.php/17513/Issue14a.html

Architectural specification

No additions

Language reference

Add reference topics describing the <glossentry>, <glossterm>, and <glossdef> elements

Add a Glossary overview topic.

http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.0/langspec/ditaref-type.toc.html

- Add the Glossary overview topic and its child glossary elements after the Map overview topic

http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.0/langspec/ditaref-alpha.toc.html

- Add links to the reference topics for the <glossentry>, <glossterm>, and <glossdef> elements in the alphabetical listing

outputclass on map elements

Description:
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/email/archives/200606/msg00006.html

Update the map elements in the language specification for the map elements?  The existing architecture topic doesn't seem to require changes:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.0/archspec/miscAttr.html

chunk attribute clarification

Description:
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/download.php/15374/Chunk.html

Approved for 1.1 DITA:
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/email/archives/200602/msg00008.html

Assuming that there's no reason to defer the clarification to 1.2:
