This will require a wide range of + changes. As a result, DocBook V5.0 will more closely resemble + The XML version of DocBook V4.1 than the SGML version. + +- Parameter entity reorganization may greatly reduce many + content models. The goal of this effort is to remove a large + number of spurious elements that snuck into content models + during the first PE reorg, in practice these changes should have + very little "real world" impact. + +- The Coords attribute will be removed from AreaSet. + +- ArtHeader will be dropped from BiblioEntry + +- Contents attribute will be removed from BookInfo and SetInfo + +- The %indexdivcomponent.mix; will be restricted. Numbered figures + and other elements inappropriate for an Index or SetIndex will be + removed. + +- RevHistory will be removed from GlossTerm + +- Constant Class will be removed from SystemItem + +- Graphic and InlineGraphic will be removed + +- Tables will be restricted from full CALS to the OASIS Exchange model + +- An experimental XML Schema version of DocBook 5.0 will be + produced in parallel with the DTD version. It will be + backwards-incompatible in an unspecified number of ways. The + goal of the effort will be that most DocBook documents that + validate under the DTD will also validate under the Schema, + but the committee does not feel bound to guarantee this + condition. |
