Subject: RE: [docbook] Add "danger" to the list of possible admonitions?


That's why ANSI Z535 sets objective criteria to distinguish between the hazard levels (note "will" and "could")

DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.  

WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. 

CAUTION, used with the safety alert symbol, indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

What is danger to you might be nothing to me?
I think caution is right or a good compromise. If presentation is an issue use CSS?
