Proposal 13102 as written says:

"enables content workers to log comments and metadata at the topic level

when changes are made."

The implicit restriction to topics is not necessary: there's no reason not

to allow revision history within maps and no technical reason to not use

it within maps (that is, <metadata>, the specialization base of

<change-historylist>, is allowed within <topicmeta>, so the domain is

inherently allowable within maps).

I take this to be a simple oversight on the part of the original proposers

who were focused on topic-specific use cases. I can't see any reason not

to allow the domain within maps and can think of times when I would want

to use it in maps.

Does the TC object to adjusting the spec language to explicitly allow use

of the domain within maps (which also implies integrating the domain in

all non-base map types in addition to the non-base topic types already

indicated in the proposal).

Cheers,

Eliot
