I have only a couple small comments:

page 8, first bulleted list, third bullet:  xml-lang -> xml:lang

page 8, first bulleted list, fourth bullet:  mention of XML catalogs.
I'm not sure that it follows from a "tool that supports DITA" that it
has to be able to use OASIS XML catalogs.  In fact, I'm not sure how
catalog support is required to "support your DITA specializations".
I'm a big supporter of catalogs including OASIS XML catalogs, so I am
not objecting to the mention, but perhaps the wording needs to be
adjusted to avoid implying that translations in particular and DITA
in general cannot be supported without support for XML catalogs.
