Subject: [dita] problem with packaging of glossaries
This came up in the spec authoring meeting today.
The problem: <glossentry> is specialized from
<concept>. <task>, <concept>, and <reference> are in
the TechDocs package. This forces <glossentry> etc. to be restricted to
the TD package. But non-TechDocs folks need glossaries, and support for
them should be in the base.
Two solutions:
Accept this. Present it as an unfortunate fait accompli
for 1.2 -- if you want a glossary, you have to use the TD package (or
specialize your own).
Move <task>, <concept>, and <reference> back
into the base, sans TD-specific domain specializations, and include those
specializations in the TD package. Present this as an interim step toward
simplified topics being developed by the BusDocs SC.
Comment? Action?
