Comment 260

ANSI/NISO Z39.96-2012, JATS: Journal Article Tag Suite (version 1.0) (Revision 0)

This request is submitted by Jeff Beck on behalf of the BITS working group. It was originally submitted by Deborah Lapeyre <dalapeyre@mulberrytechnologies.com> during a BITS Working Group meeting.

Should we rename all the JATS parameter entities to avoid problems like the one just discussed for MathML (http://www.niso.org/apps/org/workgroup/jats-sc/view_comment.php?comment_id=258)? This will not change the ANSI/NISO spec, but would be completely backwards incompatible with all previous versions of BITS/JATS. It would amount to a pseudo-namespace prefix (prefix only) on all of the parameter entities.
Submitter Proposed Solution
This is a very complex issue. The BITS Working Group forwards this request to the JATS Standing Committee for a response.
Developer Response
This comment is related to 00259 (MathML 3.0) This comment will be deferred until the next non-backward-compatible release.
