6.  Review of Requests for Enhancement

  To find a Github issue by number, enter the URL (on one line):
  https://github.com/docbook/docbook/issues/NUMBER

All open issues were reviewed.
We agreed that for 5.2 and later releases, we will mark Github issues
with the tag vXX (where XX is the release) to identify the release it
it targeted for, then if we accept the issue, we will add the tag
"accepted" to make it easy to find all items accepted for a
particular release. We will not close an issue until it has been
implemented (or rejected).

Here are notes on each currently open issue:
NOTE: several action items were opened and closed during the meeting.
           these are noted below. The only action items shown under NEW
           ACTIONS are those that were open at the end of the meeting.
           
  6     Add buildtarget element
         Suggestions include:
           - Use existing tag, systemitem, or function elements.
           - Use a broader element, e.g., target
           - Create a new buildtarget element
           - Another element name that allows for branching.
           - Are we trying to explain a build language?
           Concern about whether we lose clarity if we go broader.
           Scott posted a request for clarification on Github and we received
           a reply immediately with an example. Leave open for discussion
           next month.
  7     Allow revnumber inline.
         APPROVED for v 5.2
  52   Allow multimediaparam in imagedata
         Couldn't resolve previously because it was targeted to HTML5. Now
         the situation has changed with 5.1, so it is a good time to look into this.
         Jirka will investigate after March, 2017.
  53   Extend article @class with other and otherclass [ closed on 9/18/2016 ]
         Re-opened and marked "accepted".

  71   license tag (migrated from sourceforge)
         Dick will investigate.
  72  The DocBook websites should really be using https
