Updated strawman proposal for DITA specification chunks

Per discussion last time, dividing it up into three discrete
specifications:

1. DITA overview
      introduction to DITA

2. DITA markup
      DITA topic specification
            DTD
            schema
            language reference
            including markup for base information types and domains
      DITA map specification
            DTD
            schema
            language reference for maps
            including markup for any map specializations
      DITA metadata specification
            shared metadata model for both topics and maps

3. DITA specialization
      content specification (the specification that specialized content
conforms to)
            class attribute and domains attribute
            generalization
            precedence rules
      design (the specification that modularized specialization design
modules and integrating document types conform to)
            modularization and integration, naming schemes
            rules for DTDs
            rules for schemas
      processing (the specification that modularized processing modules and
integrating processing shells conform to)
            modularization and integration, naming schemes
            rules for XSL
            rules for CSS
