• #7 reconcile metadata elements in topics versus maps
• #13 Create containers for steps and other elements
• #46 Allow substeps to be used as steps elsewhere
• #1 Keyword (semantic role of keyword)
• #16 Extend link syntax to allow indicating context of a target
• #36 Extensible metadata by expressing data in map structures
• #39 Policy based style
• #41 Allow expanding the shortdesc model (related to #42, which IS on the list)
• #48 Support change history and annotations in prolog
• #10 Navtitle as element (subsumed into #11?)
• #15 Allow role names to be namespaced
• #18 move @format and @scope into rel-atts
• #31 Side-by-side implementation of DITA ids and xml:id

• #33 Move <refsyn> to a domain (depends on #32, which was accepted)

• #44 Keep indextermref (or redefine its function)
• #49 Better separation of XSL-FO names from XSLT logic (looks like Toolkit req)
