Hi all, There is an item listed in the Mandelieu proposals that I'd like to dispose of at the next teleconference. It's not a crucial one but it affect the markup itself, so we need to address it. We have currently an optional attribute locInfoType with the values "alert|description" (and no default set for now). The question is shall we keep it or not? Advantages to keep it: - Allows to make a distinction between different types of loc info. Drawbacks: - make things a bit more verbose, and add more things to do at the implementation. - we would need to decide where it fits in the conformance (any specific processing expectation) - if we keep it we need to have a default value for it (alert or description?) My comments: Overall I don't see much benefits into having it. From an implementation viewpoint (at least from my prospective) this will translate into a note that will have a 'ALERT' word in front of the note, or nothing. That's it. If we keep it I think the default value should be 'description'. I would be for removing @locInfoType simply because it doesn't seem to bring much and that would make ITS a tad lighter. But it's not at all a strong opinion and I'll go with the pack on this one. Cheers, -yves
