Re: [dita] Request clarification of @datatype on new lcSequence2 element

[Eliot Kimber <ekimber@contrext.com>]

This error appears to have been in 1.2 as well--the language reference
topic for lcSequence shows a @datatype attribute, but it's not defined in
the DTD.

As a specialization of <data>, @datatype is allowed so I think the error
is in not including @datatype from <data> in the learningDomain and
learning2Domain modules.

Cheers,

E.
