Subject: RE: [dita] strict task vs. general task vs. the
file naming and module rules
I'm thinking of starting a
betting pool about if DITA 1.2 will be an officially approved OASIS standard
before the next major release of Arbortext Editor comes out. The TC and OASIS
have roughly 11 months to get this done to win that race. At this point it is
not clear which side of this bet I’ll take myself.

A
lot of our time consuming work now is on the spec. Would it speed the process if
we plan to make additional spec refinements during and after public review? I
don't know the process, but don't we expect that we might have changes come out
of public review? Planning for that, couldn't we identify some of the
known readability and presentation issues that we would like to make better, and
plan to do them in that time frame so that we can concentrate on the accuracy
and substance issues before release for public review?
