Re: [dita] Prototype DITA 1.1 DTDs

Hi Scott --

The bookmap ID will change regardless of the versioning issue. Currently it
has the demo version with IBM in the public ID. In the public version this
will change to OASIS. The same change was made to the map and various topic
types when they became official.
