So the abbrevlist, bibliolist, etc. elements will remain as in 
the 12050 proposal, but the following specializations of topicref:
 amendments, appendix, bookabstract, chapter, colophon, dedication,
 draftintro, notices, part, preface 
would be (logically) "moved" from the "Elements using the "standard"
definitions of href, format, scope, and type" into a set that all
use the topicref's description of href.

I'll modify 12050 accordingly.

I'll modify 12050 accordingly.
