Dear Jean-Jacques:

        

        We discussed this item at today's DITA TC meeting. We cannot
        implement the design patterns that you suggest for DITA 1.3 (or
        any DITA 1.x releases) as it would break backward compatibility.
        

        

        We can consider it as we design DITA 2.0, however.

        

        
Best,

          Kris

        Dear chair people and voting members of the DITA TC

        

        To complete the proposal issued by Eliot (Kimber) on June, the
        19th, we would like you to read the enclosed PDF document.

        

        It is accompanied by a ZIP which contains valid XSDs for
        demonstration and proof of concept purpose:

        
          
In  directory ditabase, POC19.xml is a DITA topic
            containing not only topics of different DITA types but also
            an S1000D module.

          
In directory map, map.xml contains a topicref and an
            S1000D publication module (pmEntry)

          
In directory bookmap, bookmap.xml contains bookmap
            elements and an S1000D reference to an S1000D data module
            (element <dmRef>).

          
In directory pm, pmSchema.xml is an S1000D publication
            module containing one DITA map and one DITA bookmap mixed
            with references to S1000D data modules.

          
In addition, the demo ZIP files contain :

          

          
            
A constraint on the core p element (whose content is
              reduced to only #PCDATA, b, i and u) in XSD
              core/constraint.xsd ,

            
Miscellaneous usage of domains in technicalContent/topic
              (XSDs and XML named specializationXXXX.xsd/xml)

            

            
A new domain "poc1-d" in directory domains

            

          
        
        Thanking you for your attention,  members of our group will be
        pleased to answer any questions.

        

        Yours sincerely
