Simone Tripodi commented on SANDBOX-339:
----------------------------------------
{{Properties}} is *too much* flexible, that's true that allows DOT exporter be
adaptive to further DOT versions, but at the same time the {{DotExport}} loses
all its power when producing corrupted outputs.
If the user has to check by *it*self the syntax/semantic correctness of each
attribute... why use the {{commons-graph}} dot exporter? In that way users are
forced to learn the language, while the purpose should be producing
transparently the {{*.dot}} files and open with a rendered provided by a 3rd
party. Otherwise, just a little more spicy and the user can write its smarter
version :)
I'd prefer producing automatically a working subset of the DOT language rather
than be so flexible to produce potentially corrupted outputs.
A different strategy is needed, let's think about it
