Re: [dita] Prototype DITA 1.1 DTDs
I realize that bookmap hasn't been official until 1.1, but there have 
been big changes in that model from the demo. Content valid against one 
version will not against the other.

So far, the biggest issue I've seen is with title, but there may be 
others. The different public identifiers would alleviate any concerns 
over compatibility, because you know what version you are validating 
against.

DocBook's naming and versioning for v5.0 is documented here for those 
curious:
