Re: Eating our own dog food (Was: Generic Change Tracking draft spec)

I would definitely like this to proceed to a W3C spec. JoAnn

That would be good! But of course we could not change the spec on how we do change tracking as we progress ;-) so it could be difficult.

W3C recommendations/drafts need to be HTML though there is a schema from which this can be generated and conform to the requirements for layout. One thing we could do is ensure we can provide a good representation of the changes on each draft - we can undertake to provide that. But first we need version 1 in HTML!

I think discussion on various issues are needed, but if the group would like this re-formatted into a draft W3C spec then we can do that. As you say in your other email, the group is under no obligation to use this but we hope it may be a good strawman.

Could we have change tracking used here to see what each new DRAFT has added ?

Apologies for not being active on the list recently, due to a family
bereavement.

As promised, here is the draft spec for generic XML change tracking that was
developed for OpenDocument originally. Many of you may have followed links
and seen it already, this version is a small update to include reference to
an external representation. The goal would be to have bi-directional and
loss-less transformation between three representations for the same info:
1. Regular XML markup (probably the normative form)
2. Processing instructions (so document is valid against its schema because
all change tracking is in PIs)
3. External representation so change tracking is in another document

For those of you who would rather see it in action in a sandbox, you can do
so here http://bit.ly/10lc3WQ

Hope you all have a good holiday over Easter.
