Hello.

I seem to be having problems filtering dita content with the dita
converter.

In the DITA-OT, they support a concept of a default filtering action
followed by a more specific action.  For example, the following syntax
filters out all content marked with the 'audience' attribute unless the
attribute has a value of 'external'.

<prop att="audience" action="exclude" />
<prop att="audience" val="external" action="include" />

For reference, please refer to the DITA 1.1 Language specification, for the
'prop' element, where they say:


"There can be at most one occurrence of a "prop" element with no attribute
specified (setting a default action for every prop element), at most one
for each attribute with no value specified (setting the default action for
a specific attribute), and at most one with each attribute value
specification (to avoid conflicting actions for the same attribute value)."


When I test the above syntax in the DITA-OT, it works as expected.
However, when I do the same in the dita converter, all output marked with
an audience attribute is excluded, including that which is marked with
'external'.

Does the dita converter support the concept of default attribute values?

Thanks,

Chris
