6. OASIS website issues
Continued.
7. Publisher's and eLearning subcommittee reports
Scott has nearly finished the draft spec that will be discussed
at the next Publisher's Subcommittee meeting.
The ELearning Subcommittee is on hold until more members
can be recruited.
8. Transclusion in DocBook
The XInclude 1.1 spec has not received any other comments
so far. The XProc processor handles the new spec.
Norm will ask Mike Kay to implement it in Saxon.
8b. Nested links.
It was pointed out that the link element permits nested
link elements in DocBook 5. There was language in The Definitive
Guide for DocBook 4 that nested links were not permitted, but
that language is gone in DocBook 5. It was pointed out
that now we have universal linking, so there are many
opportunities for nested linking. Preventing that with
the schema would be very difficult. The Committee still feels
that nested links are not a good idea.
ACTION: Norm to update The Definitive Guide that the
behavior of nested links is undefined by the standard.
ACTION: Norm to prevent link nested within link in DocBook 5.1.
9. DocBook 5.1 release
The table accessibility issue about rowheader may not be
settled. Scott will pursue further, and we can change it
in a later candidate release.
ACTION: Norm to produce a DocBook 5.1 candidate release.
