Subject: Re: [dita] Clarification about note/@type update for troubleshooting
I agree completely. An "official" hazard statement that meets EU rules will be only danger, warning, caution, and notice. Nothing else is permitted.

It seems like these four values should be the only ones included in the hazardstatement type attribute enumeration. But, I suppose that's academic at this point. If there was a specific desire to have the hazardstatement type enumeration match the note type enumeration, then we ought to add "trouble" to the hazardstatement type enumeration even though it's semantically dubious. It pains me to say this because if I were to document the usage for hazardstatement/@type="trouble", I would say do not use it.

We have one specialization of <note> in the core OASIS types, from the hazard statement domain, called <hazardstatement>. Should the new "trouble" type be added to the hazard statement element as well? For all other values of note/@type, the two elements are in sync. My assumption is that it should be added (overlooked in the proposal), but the TC needs to verify this before I update the topic.
