    DISCUSSION...
    Michael proposes not including any explicit support for transitional text 
        in bookmap and adding the value "printonly" to the print attribute.
    ACTION: JoAnn to write a best practice for including transitional text in 
        DITA.
    Future issue: revisit the print attribute and rethink it with regard to 
        all output media, not only print.
    Proposal: Accept the bookmap proposal with the amendment on the print 
        attribute for DITA 1.1.
    ACCEPTED this proposal as part of DITA 1.1 scope. (moved by Michael, 
        seconded by JoAnn. No objections.

    ACTION for Don to contact Mary McRae on how to set up the new Beta Wiki
