Re: [dita] Errata item - mistake in "Inheritance" section for equation-block
Coincidentally, I have a colleague who is trying to install a DTD that was developed with an earlier, provisional version of the 1.3 DTDs and ran into a problem where %equation-d-p; wasn’t
 declared (at which point he asked me what was going on, which is how I know about it). Looks like at some point we modified the grammar files but not the spec topic.

Subject: [dita] Errata item - mistake in "Inheritance" section for equation-block

 

In the specification topic, the "Inheritance" section says that <equation-block> is specialized from the paragraph element:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/errata01/os/complete/part3-all-inclusive/langRef/technicalContent/equation-block.html

Inheritance

+ topic/p equation-d/equation-block 

In the grammar files, it's actually specialized from <div>, which I believe is the intent:

<!ATTLIST equation-block
%global-atts; class
CDATA
"+ topic/div equation-d/equation-block ">

We should update the Inheritance section to accurately reflect what is in the grammar files. (Related: we should remember this sort of issue when deciding how to generate or whether to include these sections in the 2.0 specification.)
