This proposal is to define vocabulary for interchanging the details needed to manage the processing of deliverables from DITA source and, in particular, to enable the production of cross-deliverable links in a general and processor-indepdent way. There is no way that I can complete this proposal by our current deadlines. The feature is not a hard requirement for implementation of cross-deliverable linking, it was just an attempt to standardize something all processors would need to do, in the same way that DITAVAL standardizes filtering and flagging specification to processors. Thus I would like to withdraw this proposal from DITA 1.3. I will continue to think about it and try to define something as soon as possible, probably in the context of DITA OT extensions to implement cross-deliverable link generation. We can always standardize it separately from the main DITA standard or simply publish it as a technical report or whatever.
