Subject: Re: [dita] Status values
In discussing this with Michael, we think this is basically Feature #25 proposed for OASIS DITA 1.1 to remove enumerations from attribute value lists, one that we just haven't gotten around to evaluating it yet. The originally given values for this attribute came out of early usage long before DITA was donated to OASIS, and seemed like a good idea at the time.

Why did we lilmit the possible values, as soon as you have specific client requirements you loose use of this attribute? And you have to fallback to otherprops... again!!! Maybe this is irrelevant with our move to specializable attributes, but still I thought it might be worth mentionning.
