Dear Sirs

 

ANSI Z535 and other international (ISO, EN etc.) standards have generally agreed on a 3-stage danger warning strategy. These stages are indicated by 3 specific catch words: “Danger”, “Warning” and “Caution” (ANSI Z535 also specifies “Note” for possible damages only, i.e. no injuries to persons).

 

For the note element, the DITA specification knows the types Danger and Caution (and also Note), but it is lacking Warning.

 

Could you please include this attribute and have it behaving in a similar way as Danger and Caution?

 

Thank you in anticipation.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Johannes Graubner
