@Michael: True. The first job is to expand them and have a reference
copy for human consumption next to the formal copy for formal proofs.
OTW, not terrible but pattern facets make it possible to catch the now
familiar common mistakes; so this time I am happy to use XSD as this
is the first application I've worked that makes heavy use of
attributes for critical data. The data module codes present
interesting advantages and challenges in that a language that is
self-descriptive in the way it handles resources to generate
identifiers is actually quite good at getting around the "blind"
alleyways so often discussed on this list. Many problems are better
solved with superior language design and smarter monkeys. I debated
in the beginning of the project if the specificity of 40051 and 24784
were superior to the generality of S1000D and I'm coming to appreciate
the latter as more requirements for compose-on-demand show up in the
queue.
@henry: Thanks. That would be nice but I'm stuck with ArborText 5.3
Windows 7 for the duration and am informed no upgrades are
contemplated unless they win the next phase of the contract. So the
challenge is to work around the lack of a fully implemented X:Include
and the fact that AT 5.3 dialogs freeze on Win7. I trick the FOSI
with the occurrence attributes and wrote an editor and set of
utilities using system.xml to do the tasks I can't get done with AT
because of the version/opsys incompatibilities.
Sometimes it helps to be one of the dinosaurs in this trade. :)
