[Carlos Evia]

Dear LwDITA SC members, I am pasting here the (solicited) feedback that we received from Garen Torikian on our committee note. I hope that we can discuss this on our call tomorrow. Best, Carlos ---- Hi all I'm so sorry for replying to this so late! I had intended to take a look at the Lightweight DITA spec in December but Life got in the way. I don't have much by way of comments--I think the MDITA spec aspect of it is great. I recall there was some information about it, but I would like to hear (again) about the technical choices for MDITA's representation of cross-formatting (5.4.4). The inclusion of HTML in an otherwise entirely un-tag based document confuses me a little. For example, if [product-name] is acceptable for an insertion, could something like: [^power-off Make sure power to the fixture where you are installing the light bulb is turned OFF.] or perhaps ^[power-off](Make sure power to the fixture where you are installing the light bulb is turned OFF.) be an acceptable way for defining a conref? Similarly, there's a difference between referencing a single term versus a paragraph. Why wouldn't the following work?
