Re: Proposed Final Design for W3C Technical Reports style in 2016

I have experimented with updating the (xmlspec XSLT generated) XML (and
HTML) Entities spec [1] to the proposed style.

[2] is the current editors draft on github and [3] is the same source,
restyled.


It all went reasonably well (comments on whether I could have used more
of the new classes welcome)

*
I found the default styling of links (a faint underline, but no change
to the text formatting) made them somewhat hard to spot, so I added
an a.loc class that uses the same colour as a.property but without the
monospace font.

*
Because of the narrow text width (a good thing:-) the title broke as

(3rd

edition)

which is less of a good thing.

Currently I've replaced spaces by nbsp between the brackets which works
fine, but might confuse any crawlers expecting the <h1> text to exactly
match he published title? (I could use a span with nowrap styling for
the parenthesized text, would that be better?)

There are lots of tables in this spec, for the tables such as "epsilon"
[4] I used class="complex data" which is OK, but I think I really wanted
left aligned. For the main tables for the entity sets eg [5]
I've currently left with no css but <table border> as before.
It would be nice to pull these into the styling (somehow).
So really just a general comment that table formatting could perhaps do
with more variant classes.

This is a fairly simple spec using a more or less unmodified xmlspec
stylesheet, so if anyone else wants to try an xmlspec based publication,
feel free to fork [6]
