      COMPLETE

6. Add buildtarget element (continue discussion on Github issue 6). Notes from last month:
        Suggestions include:
           - Use existing tag, systemitem, or function elements.
           - Use a broader element, e.g., target
           - Create a new buildtarget element
           - Another element name that allows for branching.
           - Are we trying to explain a build language?
           Concern about whether we lose clarity if we go broader.
        Larry volunteered to come up with a list of alternatives to discuss this month.

7.  HTTPS for docbook.org: Norm suggested that we should use https for docbook.org, at least for downloads.
     Discuss whether we should do this and, if so, how we should do this. Connected with this, we should
     discuss ongoing maintenance for docbook.org.
