DITA in public review, part II

DITA seems to have plenty of elements.

You find both <kwd> and <keyword>, which seems strange when you look at the elements in alphabetic order. It might not be so strange when you see them in context where your editor gives you only one choice.

What's cool is that instead of verbose, DocBook-style markup, DITA borrows from HTML for frequently-used elements like <dd>, <dt>, <li>, <p> and so forth. They've also gone against the ayatollahs of strict separation between content and format to include <b>, <i>, and <tt>. How refreshing.
