Re: [dita] figgroup: whither <data>?
OK if we defer to 1.2? I'm wary of touching
the DTDs/Schemas at this stage for 1.1.

[dita] figgroup: whither <data>?

This looks like an oversight... 

The content model for figgroup is just enough to allow for the one specialization
of it that DITA ships with: syntax diagrams. 

<!ELEMENT figgroup      ((%title;)?,

                    
    (%figgroup; | %xref; | %fn; | %ph; |

                    
     %keyword;)* )            
                 >

Conspicuously missing from that list are state, term, data and foreign
(perhaps also boolean, indexterm and foreign).  Granted, these could
be wrapped in a ph, but the extra level of wrapping isn't always sensible
in the context of a specialization. 

I'd like to see at least the four basic elements state, term, data and
foreign included into figgroup's content model, befitting its role as a
base for specializations.
