            http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200606/msg00059.html 
            No change to bookmap model required. Numbering schemes can be

            Robert's initial note is here:

            Decision to roll back part of proposal that moves condition processing
            attributes into a domain and in DITA 1.1 add warning to specializers of
            conditional attributes that in 1.2 there may be additional 
            steps required to ensure the DTD is compatible with 1.2.
            Accepted by acclamation. (Michael moved, Robert seconded)
