1: Would it be possible to add <SIGNATURE_LIST> as a synonym tag for <SIGNATURES>? I can understand why the MIL-SPEC doctype might be required to show <SIGNATURE_LIST> but that leaves us with an inconsistency across the doctypes. And for generator front ends (like OUTLINE), we now have to special case the FRONT_MATTER tag based on the target doctype. 2: Same as above for the <SET_APPENDIX_LETTER> and <SET_APPENDIX_NUMBER> tags. Why can't they be synonyms in the non-MIL-SPEC doctypes? 3: Page 6, right before section 1.3, it says "The tag will not be supported ...". Which tag? Jack

whoops.. almost forgot this one. the <signatures> tag was changed to <signature_list> in MIL-SPEC because of problems getting LSE to recognize a tag that has the same name but different numbers of arguments with different meanings. when you say you want synonyms, what do you mean, exactly? "The <mark_deletion> tag will not be supported." was corrected in the input file to read: The <tag>(mark_deletion) tag will not be supported. -pa | |||||

Computer 1, user 0. Loss of consistency: 0.03765 units. Sorry, I just get a little sad when I see the human interface lose a little in the battle to write for the user and not the computer. Jack |
