SDFormat Proposals
These proposals suggest new behavior in SDFormat.
Proposing new behavior for SDFormat 1.7, including semantics for the
pose frame attribute, the frame element, new rules
for element naming, and corresponding examples.

Proposal for additional parameter passing when including models.
Propose new behavior for model level composition.
Proposed new behavior for merging models via composition, rather than
purely scoped nesting.
