sites element attributes

[Alex-Jordan]

The sites element can have @landing, @html, @source, and @ancillary1. All good.

Then it also has @print and @pdf. I think this is missing something. There are:

1. PDFs intended to be read on a screen.
2. PDFs intended to be printed, with color.
3. PDFs intended to be printed in black and white.

Often, 3 is not just a matter of grayscaling 2. Careful work is done to choose a black/gray version of each color so that contrast is more certain to be good, and so that the real purpose of the distinct colors is still served.

All three things are PDF. So I propose having

1. @pdf-screen
2. @pdf-print-color
3. @pdf-print-bw

And maybe also allowing plain old @pdf, but only if you do not use any of the above.

How about:

• @pdf (generic)
• Or (exclusive), @pdf-electronic + @pdf-print
• Or (exclusive), @pdf-electronic + @pdf-color + @pdf-bw

Instructions to project entry writers say: 3 options, each attribute required within an option. Easy in XSL to pick up each of four possibilities (fourth is nothing).

That sounds nice.
