Subject: RE: [dita-comment] Filter content based on the "rev" attribute
My understanding of the rev attribute is that it's not intended to be a marker for output (other than format) but a metadata for authoring (and version control). Best used when a single output serves several versions. Or if you're tricky with xslt, a way to make a mini index or toc of changes between releases (we've done that just for sme reviews, in the past). Inclusion of version-specific content in a topic is better managed at the block level, via conref. Then your tool's version and branching systems will pull the appropriate block for the requested output and version / release. Otherwise, your topic grows constantly, rev by rev, and becomes unwieldy to edit. You could also lose branching capability (or go mad trying to fake branching with pseudo revs). If I'm wrong or missing a nuance, I look forward to correction and more details!

The DITA 1.3 standard specs states that it can only be used for flagging so the publishing cannot filter elements with particular "rev" attribute values. Will this restriction be relaxed in the DITA 2.0 standard version? Or maybe in a future standard version?
