https://github.com/docbook/docbook/issues/141 Norm says "The db._any pattern exists to allow 'escape hatches' in DocBook, places where arbitrary content is allowed. For example, info elements can contain arbitrary metadata. The current definition has two problems: it rejects HTML elements for no apparent reason and it's recursive so it doesn't allow DocBook elements to be nested inside the metadata." According to the issue's comments, Norm's suggested change was acceptable to Bob, Scott, and Jirka. I move that the DocBook TC accept this proposal. Scott, could you please second this motion and provide your vote. Other voting TC members please provide your vote. I vote yes. -- Bob Stayton [email protected]
