Right, status is only allowed on division elements like book, chapter, etc.
Is there a special reason why you need it in a variablelist and not on its
division parent element? I'm not sure if I understand your user case.
Usually, a variablelist is not published separatly, it's normally embedded
inside a section, a chapter, or a book. This parent element can have a status
attribute which "derives" its status to all its child elements.
Adding a status attribute only on a variablelist doesn't make sense to me.
The closest attribute to status may be a revision or condition attribute,
which are allowed on very element.
