If they are no longer enumerated, I don't see any reason why we need them.

Subject: [dita] More cleanup items for 2.0? "Other" attributes on audience
[External Email]
In DITA 1.0 and 1.1, the following attributes had enumerated values:
audience/@type
audience/@job
The spec defined two âotherâ attributes for use when the enumeration didnât have your value:
audience/@otherjob
audience/@othertype
In DITA 1.2 the enumerations went away, and those attributes havenât really made sense since that point. However, nobody noticed and they werenât deprecated.
Our DITA 1.3 language still (incorrectly) states that these attributes are enumerated and the âotherâ attributes can be used:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/errata02/os/complete/part1-base/langRef/base/audience.html
I was cleaning that up during my edits to this topic, and started wondering if we could take this chance to get rid of othertype and otherjob?
Thanks,
Robert
