[oXygen-user] New Schematron rule for DITA maps

[Radu Coravu]

Hi Eliot,

Indeed we added default validation scenarios for DITA topics which also 
use some Schematron validation stages but we did not add such validation 
scenarios out of the box for DITA Maps. Oxygen 13 will be released in a 
week or two so maybe in the next version we'll try to implement some 
Schematron rules also for DITA Maps.

The warning about the use of navtitle was available in the DITA 
Schematron checks provided initially by Jarno Elovirta but I commented 
it out as the Schematron was not applied on the DITA Maps anyway and 
also because I considered the check kind of severe. The DITA 1.2 spec 
says something like:

> Beginning with DITA 1.2, the preferred way to specify the navigation title in a map is with the navtitle element, available inside the topicmeta element.

Regards,
Radu
