1022    (Q) I am curious about the fact that infoviews have gone away. How will
1023        different views of the infoset work now?
1024    (A) We need to gather more feedback from the users to understand what is really needed
1025        to accomplish by using views. This document deals mostly with building TOC's, without
1026        making too many assumptions about their visual representation in the help view.
1027        We have been discussing some ways to include/exclude certain TOC's under certain
1028        conditions, for a role-based presentation of help, but we're still looking for input
1029        from the users of the technology.
1030    
1031    (Q) And if infosets are gone, will there be any way of titling a doc web?
1032    (A) What is the meaning of a doc web? Is it all the docs provided by an eclipse-based
1033        product? Theoretically, all the plugins contributing
1034        help are part of a doc web (that of the current eclipse session). If you think that
1035        you may install two eclipse-based products then what kind of scenario are you looking
1036        at that you need to differentiate between the two "doc webs"?
1037    
1038    (Q) I am also a little confused about the statement that properties files, both doc.properties and
1039        contexts.properties, go away. What are they replaced by?
1040    (A) The assumption here is that the xml files (toc.xml and context.xml) will be sent to
1041        translation and packaged in their own fragments just like the translated html content.
1042        This also allows for having different tables of contents on different languages. The
1043        drawback is that last minute changes in a TOC will have to be propagated to all
1044        the translated toc.xml files.
