Make <figure> member of att.typed

TEITechnicalCouncil commented 14 years ago

It would be good to have a way of typing <figure>s.

Examples:

<figure type="photograph"> <head>The Country Club, Brookline, 1882</head> <p>America's earliest country recreational and social club. The core of the clubhouse was built in 1802 […]</p> </figure>

Example use cases (from a processing application perspective): . generate separate lists of maps, illustrations, etc. . collect all //figure[@type='photograph'] and display in a gallery . print-to-web conversion project: for each figure[@type='map'] as encountered in the print edition, render a dynamic map (e.g. via Google Maps API) instead of the printed map image

Note: if <figure> were to be a member of att.typed, there would be obvious uses of @subtype as well. Consider:

These may have to be rendered using different applications and/or data sources depending on @subtype.

I am biased as Markus and I are working on the same project, but there is a strong use case for typing <figure> as there are various ways (even in traditional publishing) that taxonomies of figures are used.

This seems eminently sensible. Added figure to att.typed. The text in #FTGRA should be updated to include some of your nice examples.
