(Kimber, 17 June 2017)
Kris went over Stefan Eike's mail, which she'd forwarded to list;
there had been corrections by Bob and Eliot. Resolution is that
Stefan is correct, translation vendor was incorrect. It appears
that the vendor's info source
used to be a member of the translation SC, but that SC was no
longer active by the time @processing-role was developed. In any
case, Kris will reply on dita-comment list.
- Tom; checking the spec definition/description of
@processing-role, it notes that topics marked with this @ are not
to be rendered as topics (only conref'd) or in the TOC, but it
doesn't exempt that content from translation.
- Robert; it doesn't imply any default for @translate.
***ActionItem; Kris will reply on dita-comment list

o Need for header comments (ALREADY ADDRESSED)
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201706/msg00041.html
(Eberlein, 10 June 2017)
o Error in entity
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201706/msg00040.html
(Thomas, 10 June 2017)
- Bob; include-domains should have 'topic' in front of hi-d.
- Robert; yes, it should match what we're using in full DITA.
***ActionItem; LwD SC should make that change in grammer files and
any doc; the TC may revisit this when we disuss in detail how LwD
should be handling domains
o File names
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201706/msg00042.html
(Eberlein, 10 June 2017)
- Kris; we should have a prefix for the files, so they aren't
exactly the same file names as 'real' DITA.
- Robert; I also think it's a good idea.
- Tom; what about 'lw-'
- Carlos, we're using 'xd' what about that?
- Kris; I have another piece of email suggesting 'lw-' rather than
'xd-'.
- Robert; I also prefer 'lw' rather than 'xd'
- Kris; the minute we're actually in a DTD/XSD/RNG file, we're
well within real XML, so we don't have to highlight the fact that
it's XDITA.
***ActionItem: LwD SC will have files prefixed with lw-
o General questions
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201706/msg00043.html
(Eberlein, 11 June 2017)
- Kris; 'add filtering @' section. what is intent for filter-add
entity?
- Carlos and Mark explained that they weren't clear about the
intent; it seemed to be from the time when they were just trying
to match DITA doc shells.
***ActionItem: LwD SC will explain intent of or remove that entity
- Robert; at a more general level, entities can be handy, but we
shouldn't require them for LwD; it gets away from the
'lightweight' model. And in the final product, we don't want
anything lying around to clutter it up, as in DITA 1.0.
- Mark, looking at it, it looks extraneous
- Kris; wrt the 2nd item in that mail; do we need explanations of
this kind of thing for the LwD spec?
- Carlos; I think that can disappear, in context of Robert's
comments
- Alan; I'd agree
- Kris; was SC planning not to have configuration of those
elements?
- Mark; not a lot of config to be done.
- Alan; and if people do provide config, would they provide their
own shells and know what they're doing?
- Mark; yes.
- Chris; for a long time, SC was working from the assumption that
there would be template-based specialization; this issue is
probably a relic of that. And we shouldn't do template-based
specialization, but we do need to document how to specialize in
LwD.
- Kris; and we need to also document configuration. so what
ActionItem do we want to give the SC. just to this item, or more
general look?
- Robert; we need to take a fuller look at design as we go along.
some gen'l issues with overall design, e.g. where elements are
ref'd as entities vs element names, some of this falls into
'making it tidy' but now it's not hurting anything.
- Kris; the major big-picture design issues are LwD and
specialization, and LwD and configuration. We can tag this as
housekeeping and go back to it later.
- Nancy; how will we keep it on our radar?
- Kris; i'll keep it on the agenda marked as 'incomplete'
- Review comments: Chris Nitchie
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201706/msg00033.html
(Nitchie, 9 June 2017)
Chris's e-mail covers several topics:
o Multimedia domain -- Should it be removed from LwDITA or should
the DITA issue a standalone domain?
- Chris; the presence of this domain in LwD, but not in 1.3,
really makes LwD incomnpatible with 1.3, unless you've added that
domain to your shells. In absence of its existence, it's a real
problem. The only way to solve it is for TC to release an official
multimedia domain as a work product.
- Kris; I'm in agreement, I
argued around it by saying I accepted the argument that it
could be constructed, but with the way @iframe is used to define
things, you couldn't really do that.
- Eliot; I'm wondering what we mean by 'compatible with' do we
mean all elements are also included, or a conforming
specialization?
- Robert; people will assume it's a subset, not a conforming
specialization. To be compatible, it would have to be done with
every configuration.
- Chris; and wrt @iframe, I recommend it get redesigned as
something we (DITA TC) could integrate better.
- Kris; so there are a number of possibilities;
1. remove multimedia
2. redesign multimedia so it doesn't require @iframe and convey
thatd ata a different way.
- Kris; TC could release a multimedia specialization.
- Carlos; I'd support that, and would be glad to work with anyone
on that. @iframe came from a discussion with Oxygen. but we can
redesign it without @iframe.
- Kris; are we releasing 1.4, or a CN of 'this is an early
preview?
- Robert; don't think we'll do a 1.4 release; I think a CN is a
great way to go. it still will be a point of confusion; but we can
have a 1.3-comp[atible CN with the multimedia domain
- Nancy; it will only berelevant to compatibility with LwD, so it
won't confuse regular DITA users.
- Chris; a good beta test for doc'ing separate modular pieces, as
will be case
- Kris; shall we give AI to LwD to redesign multimedia domain so
it only uses @s available in 1.3, and in addition, write and
release a CN introducing a multimedia domain for DITA 1.3 (Carlos,
Chris, Eliot, and Keith volunteered)
[consensus from TC to release a CN introducing mediaobject domain]
- Kris; we need a working title "Multimedia domain for DITA 1.3'
***ActionItem; Kris will request a template for a CN for this CN.
[continuing Chris's items]
- Chris; I also have some discomfort about the fact that
multimedia elements are specialized from object, but object isn't
in LwD.
- Mark; it's only neeeded if you're going to change the DTD.
- Kris; in any specialization, you can exclude the element the
domain is specialized from.
- Chris; it just seemed odd to me...
- Robert; yes but this can be done, for someone familiar to full
DITA, it seems weird, but for someone new, it seems normal and
less complex that the alternative.
- Chris; LwD is about limiting things, that's the point.
- Mark, if you really need more flexibility, you go to full DITA.
- Kris; the absence of 'object' should be something we talk about
when we explain LwD,
- Carlos; and for people who want to further specialize LwD,
they'll need it.
- Chris; I'm comfortable with that
o Validation of HDITA and MDITA
- Chris; There's a lack of understanding of how to validate these
for processing
- Mark; a terrifying area; there is no standard for Markdown;
we're basing on CommonMark, but there's no validation tools for
- Chris; but something can be valid HTML or Markdown without being
valid HDITA or MDITA or Markdown; we always thought 'the toolchain
will handle it', but that's not really sufficient.
- Robert; the problem is that here we're getting a response from a
tool vendor asking 'how do I validate it?'
- Mark; Microsoft is currently working out how to validate their
own particual flavor of Markdown.
- Robert; the difference between having to validate Markdown, and
having some guidance about how to handle something that's not
valid.
- Chris; even if it just said 'vendors can do what they want with
invalid.
- Mark; we need to get MP back on the SC to discuss this.
- Kris; is best thing referring this back to SC, or a meeting
between SC and processor experts?
- Carlos; we should start with SC, get MP's
- Kris; but MP doesn't have expertise in this area, so might be
better to talk with processor people?
- Mark; we have Jang, might be good to takl to him
- Kris; but he's not a developer
- Carlos; then
- Kris; I'll reach out to Carlos and Chris and others to try and
move forward on this;
[continued to next week; remainder of Chris's not-yet-address LwD
review comments/emails left below for context]
o Values for the custom data attributes
