Re: [dita] Prototype DITA 1.1 DTDs

["Rodolfo M. Raya" <rmraya@heartsome.net>]

Hi,

While configuring my XML catalogs for testing the new DTDs I noticed that there is no version info in the PUBLIC IDs. Is there any plan to incorporate a version number, 1.1 in this case, to the PUBLIC IDs? 

Best regards,
Rodolfo M. Raya
