Actually, I responded to Toshihiko Makita's observation that the "refcol attribute description is very unclear for me. And there seems no implementation that use this attribute in DITA-OT." I vaguely remembered that the internal IBM documentation stated that this attribute was not currently in use, and posted that as a response to the list. It'd be easy to state as much in the 1.2 documentation ...
