Subject: Chunking attribute on the map element

With respect to http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.1/CD01/archspec/chunking.html
I think there's a clarification to the
spec needed. We've got three sets of values:
- byxxx (consider making it by-xxx for
consistency?) sets policies, which are inherited if set on the map element
- select-xxx only apply when set on
a topicref that targets a nested topic within a larger document, and is
ignored otherwise, so it would be ignored on the map element
- to-xxx defines an output chunk for
the element plus all its children, but we don't say what happens when it's
set on the map element (the "creating a default for all elements within
the map" probably shouldn't apply - it would create a nasty mess).
So I propose making the behavior on
the map element explicit:
chunk= on the map element
bytopic - sets a default
bydocument - sets a default
select-topic - ignored
select-document - ignored
select-branch - ignored
to-content - creates a content
chunk out of the entire map
to-navigation - creates a navigation
chunk out of the entire map
