RE: [dita-sidsc] Follow-up: handling multiple instances/instanceBase

Thanks for the great work, Seth.

Your proposal makes sense, but looking at slides 7 &8, 
regarding the "instanceOffset" variable...

 

To me it makes more sense to talk about an "instanceBase" 
instead of an "instanceOffset" variable.   At least I don't think 
about component instances being placed in the system memory map relative to each 
other.   This approach would also resolve your questions at the bottom 
of slide 8.  Of course it might break other things, but this is my 
perspective.

 

In general, I see needing to use an instance container 
(even if we have just one instance of the component) to inform processing 
and to populate variables inside the generic component 
model.

 

Thanks 
again.

Just a friendly 
reminder to review the proposed changes for multiple instances of registers and 
components: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita-sidsc/download.php/32714/usecases-dimensions.ppt

 

If it's unclear, we 
might want to schedule a brief interim call so that the official call is 
productive.
