Hi, Paul:


Maybe we could distill the new DITA 1.1 features to two main themes:


*  Book deliverables (bookmap / bookinfo, shortdesc enhancement, indexing enhancements, graphic scaling)


*  Data extensibility (extensible metadata attributes, <data> element, <unknown> element for foreign vocabularies)



Would that support crisp messages along the lines you suggest below?

PS.  With the universal attributes sweeping up after the crowd.
