3531929 Include Equivalent format Attribute Name to DocBook Elements
This request is to add a new profiling attribute to specify
the output format such as 'html', or 'pdf'. The Committee
agreed to the need, but the proposed attribute name of 'format'
was not favored because it could be interpreted as applying
styles to an element. Instead, proposed using @outputformat,
and change the attribute name in assembly to match it.
ACTION: Norm to reply to the author in the RFE.
ACTION: Norm to add @outputformat as a profiling attribute.
ACTION: Norm to change @format to @outputformat in
the assembly element named 'output'.

Agreed to add AltGr and Return to the list of allowed values.
Other keys can be had by using the @other attribute.
ACTION: Norm to add AltGr and Return to the enumerated values
of the keycap element.
