CMS/DITA North America, Day 1
A very interesting first day. Some quick notes:
thead variant – row label
The standard definition seems to assume that labels are always column labels that belong in a thead. So, what about a table where the labels belong to rows?

The Xquery language and the DITA Open Toolkit
Presentation at the RTP Dita Users' Group by Tom Ed White, Tekelec
Xquery is a powerful query language designed specifically for XML content. It
can be used for querying, processing, manipulation, and transformation of xml
content.
This presentation demonstrates how Xquery can be used to add to the feature set of the Dita Open Toolkit by introducing automatic glossary processing.
Steps and Step Result - Last Step Result at the Margin?
I am using DITA with XMetal. I have been told to move the last step result out to the margin following the last step. I have never seen any instruction written like this.
Example:
1. Do this.
2. Open the window.
The window opens and displays whatever.
3. Select the whatever.
The whatever is selected.
4. Click Close.
The whatever is saved.
