[Eliot Kimber]

With respect to what should be done, perhaps the proposal needs to say something like: The collate-as element should be used in determining the collation position of its direct parent whenever its parent is a member of a set of items that are sorted based on their content or other property values. Such sorting is, by its nature, implementation dependent. Typical examples include: - Sorting topics by their title or short title texts (for example, sorting glossentry topics to create a master glossary in the context of a specific map) - Sorting tables and figures by title - Sorting query results by element content or title Cheers, E. ---- W.
