Re: [dita] Under specification for @refcol

[Robert D Anderson <robander@us.ibm.com>]

I've updated the attribute description. Also, just a note - this has been
referred to many times as the refcol attribute, but it is actually refcols
(with an S) in the specification and doctypes.

The new description is:
"The refcols attribute is currently undefined, and is reserved for future
use."
