Help with brainstorming a list of scenarios for using expansion

[Kristen James Eberlein <kris@eberleinconsulting.com>]

Hi, folks.

I know we all think that the relaxation of the specialization rules will 
have tons of benefit. However, I'd like to have a bigger stock of 
realistic scenarios for the spec and DITA 2.0 presentations.

So, please spend a little time thinking of how you would use this new 
facility. Think about element and attribute specializations that you 
might have done previously, if there had been a way to prevent them from 
being globally available.

I certainly would have used them for clients where I built a 
specializations of <metadata>, to hold all the metadata being migrated 
from a legacy system. Instead of building specializations of <data>, I 
would have added attributes to a specific element.
