    * http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/Draft_DITA_1.2_Specification_Review_Assignments

3.  New ITEM: Map structure and possible new attribute for conref push and anchorref

    * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200902/msg00015.html (Su-Laine's "rebooted" version and ensuing discussion) 
    * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200902/msg00035.html (apparent latest proposal) 

    > Su-Laine: Robert's roll up is the latest summary of the discussion. The third link 
    > suggests names.

    > DECISION: attribute name: processing-role
    > DECISION: attribute values: resource-only, normal (default value is 'normal')

    > Notes:
    > 1. The spec should mention the default behavior.
    > 2. The TC decided that attribute names and values should be hyphenated in 
    >    the future, as a precedence.
    > 3. Need to address how this attribute interacts with @print=yes or @toc -- how is 
    > this handled? Processing role should win. (add to processing topic of arch spec)
