Yes, I saw that today ... boo.

> I wasn't sold on adding the <kwd-group> to Authoring until I checked out the
article-meta model and saw that <kwd-group> is allowed. Thought I have to say
that I'm still not wholly convinced it's needed, but there is a precedent for
allowing keywords in Authoring. Whether or not publishers actually use those
keywords is another issue entirely.

Yet Authoring does not now allow 'sec-meta', with the effect that
sections can't get their own keywords.

Since (as you said) the clean consistent solution won't be
backwards-compatible ... I'm happy to defer to others to balance the
tradeoffs.

Cheers,
Wendell
