Remove the description-list association from docs for ATK_ROLE_DESCRIPTION_{TERM,VALUE}
Last modified: 2017-11-30 14:12:17 UTC
We currently have three roles related to term-value pairs: * ATK_ROLE_DESCRIPTION_LIST * ATK_ROLE_DESCRIPTION_TERM * ATK_ROLE_DESCRIPTION_VALUE Because the documentation for latter two explicitly states that they are "in a description list," there is some hesitancy to use these roles for terms and/or values which are not within a list. We have two choices: 1) Create more roles 2) Remove the description-list association for the latter two's docs I personally don't see that we need yet another role. And we can keep the current docs for ATK_ROLE_DESCRIPTION_LIST. In other words, an ATK_ROLE_DESCRIPTION_LIST should contain ATK_ROLE_DESCRIPTION_TERM and ATK_ROLE_DESCRIPTION_VALUE objects. It's simply not a requirement for ATK_ROLE_DESCRIPTION_{TERM,VALUE} to exist within a list.

Review of attachment 364664 [details] [review]: Makes sense, and in general, I'm in favor to avoid adding more roles to the already long list of roles if possible.
