Follow-up on requests to the Lightweight DITA subcommittee

At yesterday's subcommittee meeting, I suggested that the subcommittee
        author a committee note about Lightweight DITA. I think such
      a committee note could include the following:

    

    
      
Rationale for Lightweight DITA

      
Content model for Lightweight DITA

      
        
Element set

        
New elements added

        
New attributes added

      
      
Specialization model

      
Supported or sponsored tooling

    
    
I think such a committee note would be critical for the following
      reasons:.

    
      
So far there is NO material published by the DITA TC. The only
        materials published on Lightweight DITA are blog pieces,
        Webinars, and conference presentations by SC members.

      
It would ensure that what is being proposed by the
        subcommittee is clearly understood and supported by the main TC.

    
    
I also suggested that it was time for the subcommittee to develop
      a strawman schedule of what they plan to develop and deliver in
      the next year.
