@href on image is still required by the DTDs and XSDs or has something changed in this respect since I last updated and looked at the DTDs and XSDs (way back on 11 May)? With the implementation of @keyref, @href could be optional on image, but I don't think any of the DITA 1.2 proposals called for that. Not sure if that was deliberate or if we just didn't think of it at the time. Of course @keyref existed long before DITA 1.2, so perhaps someone did think this through long ago and decided that having @href be required on image was a good idea. Having @href be required doesn't hurt anything. If @keyref is used, it just means that there will always be a fallback value to use if the key isn't defined or can't be resolved. So Eliot, are you calling for a change to the DTDs and XSDs to make @href on image optional? If not, it sounds like the Language Reference is correct as currently written. -Jeff >
