Proposal: Update foreign topic to include processing info forgeneralization/specialization use case
It seems like - if we support the foreign and unknown element - we have
these options when using DTDs:
1. We state that, if you use the foreign or unknown elements, you have no
way to share topics with others that do not use your foreign DTD module.
This would be the only way to make a DITA document that cannot be taken
back to the topic type that represents a least-common-denominator, because
you can never share with somebody that does not use this module.
2. We define some way to hide the information when generalizing. Groups can
go back to the most common form; if the common form does not use the
foreign specialization, then they use the alternate content they (may have)
defined with
