group name, Chris Papademetrious, 30 May 2025

[see item below for response]
4. Follow-up on ditaval group processing
Robert Anderson
https://groups.oasis-open.org/discussion/follow-up-on-ditaval-group-processing
- Robert; I thought at first that we had covered this, then realized it
hadn't been. The example is of non-normative behavior, describes how you
use groups, which were added to go with specialization of @s. If you
specialize an @, you have to be able to generalize it back as well. with
ditaval, if you have a specialized @, just like specialized element; but
with @s, it becomes a group. I think that's not really good. if you set up
a rule for an @, should do it the same way as it would be done for an
element. We define that behavior in the spec; the example defines an
alternate way to do it, but I don't think that's good; any excamples should
do it using the regular way,
- Eliot; agree completely
- Nancy; so what to do?
- Robert; if TC agrees, then we should change the example.
***ActionItem: Kris will respond to Chris P's mail
***ActionItem: Robert will fix the spec and change the example.
- Zoe; and maybe keep trying to convince him to come onto TC
- Kris; what's happening with him?
- Zoe; I think he still works for Synopsys, but in a different group; my
group is still supposed to get sold off at some point in future.
4. Examples for conditional processing
Dawn: Filtering using group syntax
- Kris; did examples get stripped out?
- Dawn; I sent it to you twice.
***ActionItem: Kris will talk to OASIS about a) problems with attachments
to email, and b) visibility of dita-comment list; it seems to not be
public, at least by default.
- Kris; if you can take a few extra moments to poke around site and talk
about things you cannot do. I'm still struggling about maintaining a roster
without folks getting taken off.
