Our charter had us pretty much rubber-stamping IBM's DITA for 1.0,
and the time frame for this work was very short.

I would therefore argue against making any of the changes being
discussed above in 1.0.  Rather, let's get 1.0 out asap, and then
we can start discussing changes for post-1.0.

(I do note that Erik has suggested both "Conref and XInclude" and
"link target rendition context ambiguity" could wait to post-1.0.
Erik seems to want the data tag in 1.0, but I would argue that it,
too, should wait to post-1.0.)
