I'm ok with it adding it to CR3. Scott? Norm, let us know when you have prepared it so we can review it. Thanks.

I thought other namespaced attributes did not have to be accounted for in the DocBook schema but were instead validated using NVDL? The DocBook schema doesn t have to validate them, but it must allow them. (You can tease apart a document and validate different sections with different schemas using NVDL, but I don t think you can validate the structure and some attributes with one schema and other attributes on the same elements with a different schema.) Given that you thought it was done with NVDL and I thought it just worked, I infer that we both thought it was possible. I m tempted to squeeze it into a 5.2CR3. Lots of vocabularies allow it and it doesn t do any harm. (The question came up in relation to a use case with a DocBook user.)
