Re: [docbook-publishers] article/@class Additions?

[Scott Hudson <scott.hudson@flatironssolutions.com>]

Originally, we had discussed whether to add a periodical element as a 
sibling to the book level. After further deliberation, we thought that 
set should be sufficient to group periodicals. I think additional types 
of periodicals would be good additions to the class attribute.  Perhaps 
the class values need to be at the set level as well? (Newspaper)

"newsletter" is one that comes to mind at the article level.

Best regards,
