Hi Mark and Carlos,

Thanks! All answers align with my expectations. Apologies for asking about @outputclass -- that's definitely there.

The only filtering attribute available in LwDITA is @props. My students used it last semester in XDITA topics.

I think processing-role is too complex for LwDITA map users... just my opinion.

Colleagues,

A few questions about the Lightweight DITA DTDs and LwDITA features --

- The content model and attribute set for <data> is different in maps and topics (content model: <data> in <topic> allows #PCDATA; <data> in <map> does not. And the attributes are different). Is that intentional?

- LwDITA does not provide the DITA filtering attributes? (O.K. with me; just confirming).

- LwDITA does not provide a generic metadata container attribute (e.g., @outputclass)?

- Should we provide @processing-role on <topicref>? I'm thinking of the use case of referencing a "keydef-only" ditamap (@processing-role = "resource-only").
