I would add "and interoperation" to "the ensuing reuse possibilities":
"the ensuing reuse and interoperation possibilities"
Interoperation, with or without reuse, is an important and distinguishing feature of the DITA architecture.

Subject: Re: [dita] Sound bite for the OASIS press release
How about the following:
“DITA is more than flexible, it’s
specializable,”
said Kristen Eberlein, chair of the OASIS DITA Technical Committee. “The standard is unique; it enables
practitioners to specialize
from existing elements in order to increase the semantic
granularity. For
example, consider a very simple document. A section element can
be specialized
to represent more specific types of sections such as
“Introduction,” “Main
point,” and “Conclusion”; this enables more precise semantic
searching and
better guidance for authors.”
“Done correctly”, Eberlein
continued, “Output
processors always
will understand
the specialization hierarchy – a section is always a section,
after all – and be
able to apply general processing transformations. This is unique
to DITA, and
the ensuing reuse possibilities allow great cost sharing and
cost reductions.”

Carol Geyer has sent me a draft press release. It includes the
following paragraph:
“DITA is more than flexible,
it’s specializable,” said Kristen Eberlein, chair of the OASIS DITA Technical Committee. “The standard allows specific semantics to be
introduced for specific purposes without increasing the size
of other XML grammar files.” <PLEASE

I think we can improve this. Thoughts?
