This raises the question of what we should or should not consider for inclusion in the standard. Is an architectural feature that can be used only one platform (Eclipse) too narrow? I would probably think that it is, but I'd love to hear others' thoughts.
How broadly applicable should something be before we entertain adding it to the DITA standard?

I asked some of our authors in IBM about usage (in a very un-scientific way, polling in a chat channel), and the folks who usually respond to such queries hadn't heard of the domain. It was really designed around an Eclipse feature, and I am not aware of any other rendering platform that has such a feature, which probably limits the utility. I know it's also been a bit of a pain to support in the DITA-OT processing pipeline because it requires "If Eclipse" exceptions to otherwise common feature processing.

Is this a domain that we want to consider removing for DITA 2.0?
I don't know if it used at all outside of IBM.
