           Summary: Clarify relationship between host vocabulary markup data
                    cats and ITS data cats

(see also bug 2877 (terminology data category))

1. What if the host vocabulary already has markup related to terms (see for 
example DITA and DocBook)? Do we recommend keeping it and mapping it via a 
documentRule? If so: Can this recommendation be generalized, and thus for 
example become part of the introduction to data categories?

2. What if the host vocabulary and our ITS markup related to terms only share 
some commonalities? Example: The DITA "term" element allows more than just one 
attribute with additional information? Do we suggest to

a. move stuff from ITS into host vocabulary
   
  <dita:term its:dir="ltr">PlateBroiler</dita:term>

b. move stuff from host vocabulary into ITS

  <its:term dita:platform="CoolOS">PlateBroiler</its:term>

Or do we suggest something completely different?

3. What if we have a clash of the information from the namespace of the host 
vocabulary and the ITS namespace? Example

<head>
  <documentRule its:term="yes" its:termSelector="//dita:term">
</head>
<body>
  <p>The highly visible <dita:term dita:translate="no">PlateBroiler</term> ...
</body>

4. What if the host vocabulary and ITS differ with regard to one of the 
following:

4.1 content model (for example PCDATA vs. mixed)
4.2 data type (for example NMTOKEN vs. CDATA)
