Re: [jats-list] Using JATS DTDs with Oxygen XML Editor

["Wendell Piez wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again,

Just to concur with Tommie (and thank her for pointing it out), while it
entails a learning curve that may seem to stand in the way, using the
layering mechanism as designed to deploy DTD enhancements and modifications
absolutely will save work, compared to alternatives -- and is no harder to
document and retrace when you have to do it again.

In this case you could have two separate frameworks but they would not
compete - the JATS-based format (and hence framework) would no longer have
to claim to be JATS, without quite fulfilling that promise.

Cheers, Wendell
