I use it. TDG says: "Condition is a general-purpose effectivity 
attribute with no specified semantics. Many DocBook users observed that 
in order to add an effectivity condition that was unique to their 
environment required ‘abusing’ the semantics of one of the existing 
attributes, or adding their own, making their customization an extension 
rather than a subset."
