[tomschr]

We need to create a "simplified" version of DocBook5 with our needs.

Tasks

1. Create a preliminary version which is usable and fullfill our needs
2. Discuss it with the team.
3. Refine

This is (partely) implemented in daps/suse/schema/susedoc5.rnc, see revisions
[r4499] [r4484] [r4483] [r4482] [r4481] [r3728] [r3687] [r3685] [r3684] [r3678] [r3671].

Current Simplification:

• Based on DocBook 5.1 CR3

• Removed XLinks in all block elements

• Remove unneccessary elements which it's very likely that we will never use them. Find them with

  egrep "^[ ][ ]db.[a-z]+\s*=\s*notAllowed" susedoc5.rnc
  

• Removed RDFLite attributes

• Allow only CALS table model, not HTML

• Disallow block elements in para element (make it effectively a simpara)

• Disallow xml:ids in paras

Removed further XLinks from division elements [r4501].

Currently, I observe some issues with customization. At the moment, it is not possible to distinguish between block and inline elements in regards to XLink customization. I have to remove the db.common.linking.attributes from every db.ELEMENT.attlist. This is annoying, tedious, error prone, and ignores any further upgrades from upcoming DocBook versions.

I guess this can be closed for the time being.
