Namespace support in SMIL for extensions

Submitted By:   James Pritchett

Status:   Resolved

Issue Type:   DTD

Assigned To:   

Issue Description:    When adding support for namespaces in the 2005 specification, we forgot to include support for other namespaces needed by extensions to the dtbook element set. Among the places support is needed is in SMIL, to identify where reading systems will need support for different vocabularies in order to render extension content. In SMIL 2, this is done via the systemRequired attribute, which, however, is not currently a part of the dtbsmil DTD.

This Issue Has Been Resolved as a Future Direction

Resolve as a (possible) Future Direction. For now, a possible work-around is to use the type attribute rather than the systemRequired attribute.
