consider spec clarification on DITAVAL (lack of) support for space-separated attribute values

[Chris Papademetrious <chrispitude@gmail.com>]

Hello!

Because in-content profiling conditions support a space-separated value list, I also assumed that DITAVAL files did too:

<prop action="" att="audience" val="a b"/>

However, experimentation with the DITA-OT suggests that it does not.

In the DITA 1.3 spec at

https://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/os/part1-base/langRef/ditaval/ditaval-prop.html

the description for @val indeed references a singular "value":

The value to be acted upon. If the @val attribute is absent, then the <prop> element declares a default behavior for any value in the specified attribute.

Given the asymmetry of multi-value support between content profiling conditions and DITAVAL filtering profiling conditions, maybe it's worth clarifying this aspect a bit more explicitly in the 2.0 spec? If you prefer to keep the spec lean and mean, that's fine too.

Thanks!
