Work on stage three proposal #15, "Relax specialization rules"

[Kristen James Eberlein <kris@eberleinconsulting.com>]

I've gotten to the point that I am stuck and need help. I have done a ridiculous amount of work:

• Editing configuration and coding requirements topics to allow for changes introduced by #15
• Adding topics that cover expansion modules
  
• Indexing configuration and coding requirements topics
• Updating base DTD and RNGs to accomodate changes (mainly changes to header comments, but necessary)
• Adding example topics for exansion modules (both DTD and RNG)

However, I am bogged down with the RNG topics because I do not have as much familiarity with them as I do with manipulating DTDs -- and how one handles redefinition in RNG files is quite different.

I am going to attach a PDF build from the current spec source. it will look funny, since it's built using the generic TC PDF transformation. (I set up a new DITA-OT environment that can cope with DITA 2.0 files, but I have not gotten all the TC plug-ins working properly yet.)

For those who can, please look at chapters 8 and 9. Changes are marked in red highlighting. In particular, I need help with the following:

• 8.6.3 Examples: Expansion modules implemented using RNG
• 9.4.8 Coding requirements for expansion modules using RNG
  

I would like to have the RNG examples written and tested before finalizing the coding requirements topic and submitting the stage three proposal.
