[DocBook XML generation 2]
Hi
Just to thoughts:
* Modules, Subsets
I just heard from a project in a University that they switched away from
DocBook. The said the language and the related tools are too large.
It would be great if it would be *very* simple to specify a set of
modules, so that authors and tools can state in one simple line which
modules they use respectively support.
Eg as in
http://thaiopensource.com/relaxng/xhtml/xhtml-strict.rng :
<grammar ns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns="http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0">
<include href="modules/datatypes.rng"/>
<include href="modules/attribs.rng"/>
<include href="modules/struct.rng"/>
<include href="modules/text.rng"/>
<include href="modules/hypertext.rng"/>
<!-- ... -->
</grammar>
* Required Version Atribute
It would be great if the new DocBook would have a required version
attribute on the root element. This in addition to the namespace will
make it easier for tools to find out what they are dealing with. (XSLT
has a version attribute, SVG versions higher than 1.0 require one, etc)
