official DocBook namespace.This is
the twelfth
release of DocBook NG.
The most significant change in “Lillet” is that it uses the
official DocBook V5.0 namespace,
“http://docbook.org/ns/docbook” per the
20 Apr 2005 TC meeting.
In every other respect, it is still an unofficial and personal
experiment, but for implementors interested in beginning to develop
support for DocBook V5.0, it means you can start to play with NG
without worrying about pervasive namespace changes later on.The other user-visible changes are:Support annotations as per the 20 Apr 2005
