re 1: there is a req to strip values from output - you don't want internal rev numbers or values that reference unreleased products being included in output, for example. So there do have to be two actions - include content while stripping values, and include content while preserving values. Don't much care what we call them.
re 2: dunno.
re 3: since this part was your idea, I'm happy to take suggestions :-) In the previous/existing behavior, only the rev attribute could be flagged with color, so this situation never came up.
re 4: not sure I understand your grounds for objection fully, but in any case the proposal does describe how to change the default behavior for a particular ditaval file, but I'm reluctant to change the default for every ditaval file because, regardless of the merits of your argument, it would be backwards incompatible (ie every document out there created based on existing default behavior would break with your change). Hence my desire to make the change an opt-in rather than global.
