Greetings tech and legal teams,
In the technical workgroup, we just completed a first pass review of all of the terms and attributes proposed by Kris and the legal team. The details can be found in the google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z9n44xLH2MxT576KS_AbTOBtecyl5cw6RsrrQHib Qtg/edit The comments column represents the discussion in the tech team and includes any proposed changes. I added a column to include the proposed new name for the element or attribute. A couple of discussions I would like to highlight for the legal team. We are proposing changing the names for many of the formatting element names. We decided that some of the formatting tags have semantics - such as ignoring bullets. These should be included in the RDF form of the license. Some of the formatting tags are strictly formatting - such as br. These will not be included in the RDF, but will be used to generate the HTML. We also felt that we should use terms more human readable and different from the HTML tags - e.g. newline instead of br. There were two reasons: . more human readable for those not familiar with HTML . they do represent 2 different problem spaces and should use distinct terms We also spent some time discussing the syn element. We all agreed that we should include a dictionary in XML form that would contain all of the synonyms documented in the license matching guidelines. We has some concerns on including a syn element in the license XML files themselves. In particular, we were concerned that new synonyms could be introduced in the license text that would be different from the matching guidelines. We concluded that we may want to push this to a release 2 since it requires more discussion. Please let us know if there is any concerns about the proposed terms and attributes.
