Folks,
Mary McRae informed me that all OASIS specs require a conformance
statement. The Publishers SC met today and approved the conformance
language for the Publishers spec. I have added this section to the spec
and re-posted the files to the OASIS site.
I do not know if this requires a re-vote of the spec to Committee Draft.
Hopefully we can address this via email, so we can get the spec posted
for public review prior to the next TC meeting.
Please review the documents at:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/32404/publishers.xml
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/32403/publishers-1.0-spec-cd-01.html
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/32402/publishers-1.0-spec-cd-01.pdf
Here is the conformance language that was added:
Conformance
The DocBook Publishers schema is a valid DocBook v5.0 customization.
Publications or documents will be considered conformant to this
specification if they validate against the DocBook Publishers schema
(publishers.rnc or publishers.rng).
Extensions allow implementers to include features that are in demand by
their customers. Extensions may migrate into future versions of this
specification. However, the use of extensions can have an impact on
interoperability.
Any extenstions to this schema SHALL follow the principles and
guidelines of the DocBook v5.0 and this Publishers specification; that
is, the specifications SHALL be extended in a standard manner as
described in http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/ch05.html.
For implementations and/or applications that contain extensions,
extensions SHALL be clearly described in supporting documentation, and
the extensions SHALL be marked as such within the
implementation/application.
This document’s normative language is English. Translation into other
languages is permitted.
Please send to this list any comments and/or your approval of this
revision as a Committee Draft.
Thanks and best regards,
--
