I suppose by a full answer I meant an equivalent condition to metrisability that doesn't use the notion of metrisability anywhere (eg in locally metrisable). I think that the condition provided by Jones' Theorem is necessary and sufficient (subject to some assumption about the Continuum Hypothesis). | |
