What I had in mind was to define a namespace for any new features we would think could be useful to ITS. This first step would allow tools to implement those features and try them out without waiting for a new version of ITS. Then, once we think we have gathered what we think is a good complement and things look stable, we could see if they could make it as part of the next version of ITS. This would allow tools to have a smooth transition (just a namespace change). I could see other features that we didn't implement in 1.0 because of time constraint, like dealing with target location, pointing to IDs that are not xml:id, etc. -ys
