Clarification of DITA-unique additions to Exchange table

Action 51 from last week was for me to take the discussion of @scale and related issues to the list.  Here is a breakdown of the proposed DITA inclusions and their roles.

For the <table> element, add:

  %univ-atts; which consists of:

    %select-atts; [for selection, conditional processing]

    %id-atts; [for conref and linking]

    @translate + @xml:lang) [for NLS processing support]

  %global-atts; (@xtrf + @xtrc)  [for tracing and messaging support in processors]

  @class  [for specialization support]

  @rowheader  [for accessibility support in processing]

  %display-atts; (shared also with <fig>), which consists of:

    @scale [for presentational equivalence with other exhibits: fig, pre, lines, simpletable]

    @frame

    @expanse (same intent as original @pgwidth, which we can reinstate with no loss of processing semantics)

For <tgroup>, <thead>, <tbody>, and <row>, add:

  %univ-atts;

  %global-atts;

  @class

For <entry>, add:

  %global-atts

  @class

In addition, introduce the DITA-unique <desc> element (optional after <title>); this element enables more consistent presentation of both figures and tables.
