Difference in release CSD06 – 23 September 2013 as modified 11 October 2013
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are no differences in the schema, which for this reason does NOT change namespace or version number.
In the documentation and in these release notes, though, all references to URIs have been replaced with references to IRIs instead, in order to allow for the use of non-latin scripts in addresses.

Differences between release 25/9/2013 (CSD05 AN 6.0) and 23/7/2013 (CSD03 AN 5.0)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release contains a number of modifications proposed by the Technical Committee of the OASIS working group in August and September of 2013, including the notorious Cocoloco agreement on ids and requests from Veronique Parisse for the European Parliament and Monica Palmirani for the Uruguayan Parliament. In particular:
·      A new inline element, docAuthority, has been added to the list of preface inline elements, to refer to the authority to which the current document has been submitted to, or the authority who controls the development process of this document (e.g., the house rather than the senate).
·      Ids have been redesigned according to the Cocoloco Agreement of the 6th of September 2013 at the Legislative XML Summer School in Ravenna (I). Attributes id and evolvingId have been replaced with currentId (required, evolving in time, semantic), originalId (required only for renumbered documents, permanent, semantic) and GUID (optional, permanent, without required syntax).  Section 7.4 of these Release Notes provides examples and justifications for this modification. Also note that neither id is actually of type ID, but rather NMTOKEN with an additional uniqueness requirement for all elements contained within a single document type (e.g., act, bill, debate, etc.). This allows composite documents to have identical ids in similarly named elements in different subdocuments.
·      Attribute refersTo now allows a space-delimited list of references to items in the <references> element of the metadata, so as to allow for multiple semantic connections between content and external ontological entities.
·      Element attachments now allows also elements interstitial and toc in its content model.
·      Attributes originalId and evolvingId of element renumberingInfo in the temporalData metadata structure are now called original and current respectively, to avoid name clashes and to align their denomination to the ids they actually refer to.  
·      The separator of multipart semantic ids (e.g., “bck1-par2”) has been specified as “_” instead of “-“ in section 7.3 of these Release Notes.
