Delta between DITA 1.0 and DITA 1,1

Someone on last Monday's call asked about the delta between DITA 1.0 to DITA 1,1. I just came across a PDF of a presentation that Don Day gave at the DITA 2006 conference, and it contained the following information:

DITA 1.1 has two major themes: 

•Book deliverables
•Converged metadata within the bookmap

•Booklist function for generating collections of content

•Transitional text in the bookmap

•Indexing (See, See Also; sort order; page range)

•Image scaling expanded specification

•Retrofits for improved translation handling
•Data extensibility 
•Extensible metadata attributes

•Universality of “universal”attributes

•<data> element as archetype for structured metadata, content

•<unknown> element for foreign content vocabularies such as MathML and SVG
