Re: [dita] Need topic owners: collation and attribute inheritance

I wanted to give more info so that people might decide if they want to
volunteer to "own" these topics; as you can see, neither topic is long
or substantial.

Here are the (2nd review) Wiki comments for these topics:

  
Attribute inheritance
(http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/ditaProcessing2#Attributeinheritance)

  
Collation:
(http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/ditaProcessing2#Collation)

Here is the text currently in those two topics:

Attribute inheritance

The ways in which attribute values, both default and explicit, are
inherited, have major impact on authors' ability to generate
appropriate output and navigation artifacts.

Collation

DITA provides guidance for collation through the
<index-sort-as> element. 

The term collation refers to determination
of the order (collating sequence) in which
character strings should be placed when sorting them. Even where
languages share the same general character set, such as within the set
of Western European languages, this often varies according to language
and locale. 

Even where languages share the same writing system or script, as for
Western European languages, the rules for collation may vary based on
language, locale, and local editorial practices. In addition, some
languages, such as Japanese and Simplified Chinese, use ideographic
scripts where collation is determined by phonetic pronunciation, rather
than the specific characters used.

Applications implement collation using a combination of standard
algorithms and processor-specific configurations for things like
grouping rules, handling of character variants, and sorting of English
before or after non-English languages. 

Collation algorithms shall use the value of the
<index-sort-as> element (when present) in place of the value of
the <indexterm> that includes it when determining the entry's
position in the collating sequence.

Is
there someone who can take over "collation" and "attribute inheritance"?

  
 

  
I'm
unfamiliar with these topics.
