DITA spec -- Normative statements and examples

[Kristen James Eberlein <kris@eberleinconsulting.com>]

Per Mark's request on the call ---

Look at "2.2.3.4 Processing controlled attribute values"
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/errata01/os/complete/part1-base/archSpec/base/processing-controlled-attribute-values.html

It contains:

• Descriptive statements
  
• Normative statements
• Algorithm for how processing should occur (necessary to ensure that different tools yield the same results when given the same input)
  
• Example to provide further illustration

Another one is "2.4.2.3 Processing attributes when resolving conrefs"
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/errata01/os/complete/part1-base/archSpec/base/conref-attributes-specified-on-elements.html

Or "2.4.3.2 Filtering"
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/errata01/os/complete/part1-base/archSpec/base/filtering.html
